CHAIRMAN

Dear Professional Colleagues, The
preparations for the One Day Joint Seminar on `Role & Responsibilities of Directors in the
Emerging Scenario’ being organised by the Southern India Regional Council of
The ICSI and Southern India Chamber of Commerce & Industry, Chennai on 26th
June, 2004 are in full swing and confident of getting positive response from
various quarters. During the month of May 2004, I
had the privilege of attending the programmes conducted by Madurai,
Tiruchirapalli and Visakhapatnam Chapters.
The Madurai Chapter celebrated its Foundation Day on 15th
May 2004 in a befitting manner.
Similarly, the Visakhapatnam Chapter had organised a programme to
coincide with their Annual General Meeting on 22nd May 2004. During the course of interaction with the
Members and Students, lot of suggestions have been received for improving the
activities of the Chapter, organizing programmes of topical importance for
the Members and Student Services. The Visakhapatnam Chapter has also expressed to host a National Seminar on
the current topic of importance during the month of August/September, 2004.
During the interactive meeting with the Members of the Tiruchirapalli
Chapter, it is felt that own premises for the Chapter will facilitate
strengthening its activities. The
Calicut Satellite Chapter is planning to organise a Three Days residential
Conference during 9th, 10th & 11th July
2004 on “Shift in Legislative, Social and Commercial Priorities – Challenges
& Opportunities”. The Conference
is going to be held in a hill resort, which is 60 kms. away from Calicut and
the transportation to the venue will be arranged by the Chapter. Those who are interested to attend the
Conference may please communicate to either SIRC or Calicut Satellite Chapter
on email or telephone.
[email:siro@icsi.edu
Phone:28279898/28268685]. The theme for the 30th
Regional Conference of SIRC has been chosen tentatively as “Emerging
Corporate Laws in WTO Environment”.
The sub-themes for the Two Day Conference are being worked out and I
request the Members to give suggestions in this regard. I would also request the Members to keep
the dates of the Regional Conference i.e . 6th & 7th
August 2004 free for attending the
Conference, keeping in view of the busy schedule of activities ahead
including Annual General Meetings of various Companies in the month of August
& September 2004. With best wishes Yours sincerely

COMPLIANCE CERTIFICATE – PRACTICAL ISSUES 7th May, 2004
|
|||
|
The
Speaker for the Study Circle Meeting on the topic “Compliance Certificate –
Practical Issues” was Sanjay Kumar
Gupta, Assistant Registrar of Companies, Karnataka, Bangalore. J.
Sundharesan, Secretary of the Bangalore Chapter of the ICSI welcomed all
present and introduced the speaker. Sanjay Kumar Gupta in his presentation
gave a brief introduction on the concept of Compliance Certificate and the
intent with which it was introduced. He shared many mistakes, lacunae,
non-reporting, contradictory reporting etc that he had found while
scrutinizing Compliance Certificates filed with the Registrar of Companies. |
|
||
|
He
covered almost all aspects of the Compliance Certificate and stated that the
process of issuing a Compliance Certificate comprised of (i) Report on maintenance of
statutory and non–statutory registers / records (ii) Report on Filing of Returns /
Forms with the ROC by way of Annexure ‘A’ to the certificate; (iii) Report on Compliance of various
provisions of the Companies Act, 1956; and (iv) Reporting of violation,
prosecution launched, penalty levied etc. He then
discussed some of the vital areas where Company Secretaries needed to take
extra care while finalizing the certificate. Some of these were : while
reporting the status of a Company based on its share capital, declaration of
holding beneficial interest if any whereby an Indian Company would become a
subsidiary of a Foreign Company which would in turn require the compliance of
various other Sections. Compliance relating to
Section 217 of the Companies Act, 956, especially with regard to Signing of
the Director’s Report ; non-discussion in the report with regard to
qualifications or adverse remarks contained in the Auditor’s Report; and other details that have to be discussed. Reporting on Charges and
Satisfaction of Charges filed by companies with Registrar of Companies ;
issues of dividend, appointment of Managing Director/Whole time
director/manager in compliance of Section 269 and Schedule XIII of the Act ;
Buy-Back of shares etc. He also gave an
elaborate checklist which the members could use to ensure proper reporting
while issuing the Compliance Certificate. There was very lively
discussion / interaction by the 31 members present who raised many questions,
sought clarification and solution to various cases they had came upon while
issuing Compliance Certificate. |
