NEED FOR COMPLIANCE CERTIFICATE
The successive Annua% 0eports on the 6or/in$ and Administration of the Companies Act, 19! revea% that a %ar$e number of documents are returned for rectification of defects and a%so remain pendin$ for bein$ ta/en on record) 6hi%e this state of affairs has perhaps resu%ted from the constraints under #hich the offices of the 05Cs operate, it cannot be denied that in case of documents returned for rectification, a %ar$e number of errors or omissions arise on account of misinterpretation or i$norance of the provisions of %a#)
7urther, the 8epartment of Compan+ Affairs institutes ever+ +ear a %ar$e number of prosecutions a$ainst the companies and their officers in defau%t for contravention of various provisions of the Companies Act) 9ost of the companies a$ainst #hich prosecutions are instituted are private %imited companies or sma%% pub%ic %imited companies #hich do not have the benefit of e:pert professiona% services of .ua%ified Compan+ (ecretaries)

The Compan+ (ecretaries, #hi%e underta/in$ the #or/ of issuin$ Comp%iance Certificate #i%% act as a friend and $uide to the mana$ement of companies) There is a%so a need to educate the mana$ement of sma%% companies and to insti%% professiona%ism in their mana$ement so that these companies appreciate their contribution) 5n%+ a positive and he%pfu% approach #ou%d bui%d the necessar+ confidence) ;f there have been technica% non-comp%iances, the approach shou%d be to $uide and advise the compan+ to ma/e $ood the deficiencies b+ maintainin$ proper records, fi%in$ the re.uisite returns or see/in$ compoundin$ of offences)
