Corporations law

The Corporations Act 2001 is the uniform legislation that regulates companies in Australia. It provides the base that organisations use to develop their own acceptable meeting conventions.

Part 2G of the Corporations Act 2001 contains regulations that provide instructions about how to conduct:

  • the annual general meeting
  • the statutory meeting
  • meetings of boards of directors
  • creditors meetings
  • procedures for winding up meetings
  • meetings of debenture holders
  • meetings of holders of prescribed interests.

Why is it necessary for a company to hold an annual general meeting? 

Using any recent reference to meeting procedures, laws and practices, find five examples of regulations derived from the Corporations Act 2001 that will influence the way an annual general meeting is held. Develop your answer to this by posting to the ValleyView Meeting room under the topic AGM regulations. Create the topic if it does not already exist.
