The annual board of directors meeting is held to go over the details of the past year and decide on actions and strategies for the corporation for the next year. Keeping meeting minutes helps to ensure all these actions are documented in the corporate record.
For example, an annual general meeting (AGM) provides an opportunity for the board of directors and shareholders to come together, review the company's performance, and discuss its future direction.
Generally speaking, annual meetings are a formal discussion of a company's goals, strategy, financial situation, proposed changes to governance documents, or other pending decisions that require a vote by or approval of the business's owners.
The purpose of the annual meeting is for shareholders to elect the directors. Therefore, holders of voting stock elect either the whole board of directors when there is a single class of directors or some fraction of the board in, for example, staggered boards.
The typical AGM agenda includes reviewing financial reports, approving dividends, appointing auditors, and addressing shareholder concerns. Compliance with statutory requirements ensures the meeting's legitimacy and adherence to corporate governance laws.
