Secretarial Audit (MR-3)

An independent check that your company complies with company law and other regulations — required for prescribed companies. Conducted and reported (MR-3) by a practising CS.

Overview

A secretarial audit is an independent examination of whether a company complies with the Companies Act and other applicable laws, records and processes — reported in Form MR-3. It’s mandatory for prescribed classes of companies (larger and listed companies) and is a valuable governance check for others too.

GovYapar’s practising Company Secretary reviews your secretarial records, filings, registers and compliance, flags gaps, and issues the MR-3 report — giving your board and stakeholders assurance.
