FAQ
An AGM meeting, also known as an 'Annual General Meeting', or simply 'AGM', is an instrumental meeting in which all of the shareholders of an organisation meet and discuss aspects of the company. Several key activities take place, and this is the primary event through which companies engage in the democratic process.
Annual General Meetings of Public Companies require the presentation of the Social and Ethics Committee Report and the Remuneration Report, along with the directors' report and audited financial statements for the immediately preceding financial year.
The business covered at an AGM may include, but isn't restricted to, the following: The annual financial report. The Director's report. Auditors report. Voting: Election of directors. Passing of resolutions. The appointing of the auditor.
A public company must call an AGM each year within the period of six months beginning with the day following its accounting reference date. A private company is not required to hold an AGM, but it may choose to do so or it may have provisions in its articles of association that require it to do so.
