Drafting and Certification of Board Resolutions for Banks, Authorities & Transactions

A certified board resolution is a certified true copy of a resolution passed by a company’s board of directors, used to evidence the board’s decision to third parties. Banks, regulators, counterparties, and authorities routinely require certified copies of board resolutions to open accounts, authorise signatories, enter into transactions, or process approvals. The resolution must be properly passed, accurately recorded in the minutes, and certified by an authorised person.

Our certified board resolution services cover drafting the resolution, issuing certified true copies, and completing any filing such as MGT-14 where the resolution must be filed with the Registrar. This service follows on from our board meeting services, supports matters approved at an AGM or EGM, and is backed by a company secretary’s certification.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a certified board resolution?

A certified board resolution is a certified true copy of a resolution passed by a company’s board of directors. It evidences the board’s decision to outside parties, such as banks and authorities, and is certified as a true copy by an authorised person like a director or the company secretary.

When is a certified board resolution needed?

Certified board resolutions are commonly required to open or operate bank accounts, authorise signatories, enter into contracts or loans, and obtain approvals from authorities. Third parties ask for a certified copy as proof that the board has validly authorised the relevant action.

Who certifies a board resolution?

A board resolution is certified as a true copy by a person authorised by the board, typically a director or the company secretary. Their certification confirms that the resolution was duly passed at a board meeting and is accurately reproduced in the certified copy.

Which resolutions must be filed with the ROC?

Certain resolutions, including specified board and special resolutions, must be filed with the Registrar in Form MGT-14 within the prescribed time. Whether a particular resolution requires filing depends on its nature under the Companies Act, so each resolution is assessed accordingly.

What is MGT-14?

MGT-14 is the form used to file specified resolutions and agreements with the Registrar of Companies. It is filed within the prescribed period after the resolution is passed, and it places the resolution on the public record where the Act requires such filing.
