Corporations law — Checklist for preparing for a company annual general meeting (AGM)
| Introductory note: | |
| A public company must hold an annual general meeting (AGM) within 18 months after its registration under s 250N of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) (the “Act”). After this initial AGM, a public company must hold an AGM at least once each calendar year within 5 months after the end of its financial year. | |
| A public company with only one member is not required to hold an AGM unless specifically required by its constitution. | |
| Similarly, a proprietary company is also only required to hold an AGM if its constitution requires it. | |
| The following is a checklist of items to assist a company secretary preparing for their first AGM. Many of the items also apply for other types of general meetings. |
