A board meeting is a formal gathering of a Board of Directors. Most of the organizations, being public or private, profit or non-profit, are ultimately governed by a body commonly known as Board of Directors. The members of this body cyclically meet to discuss strategic matters.
All Companies registered in India are required to conduct an Annual General Meeting and file the Company Annual Return with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs. In the Company’s Annual General Meeting, the Board of Directors of the Company is required to present the Directors Report to the shareholders along with audited financial statements and Auditor’s report.
Thus, review your Board Meeting Minutes immediately after the meeting. When your board meeting minutes are complete and finished, make sure they are distributed to board members as soon as possible. Once the minutes are approved by a vote of the members during the board meeting, they become part of the official record of the organization. It’s important that a copy of all minutes are kept in one place.
