Document background
General Meeting Minutes are essential corporate governance documents required for all Australian companies under the Corporations Act 2001. They must be prepared for Annual General Meetings (AGMs) and Extraordinary General Meetings (EGMs), serving as the official record of company meetings, decisions, and resolutions. These minutes document attendance, quorum confirmation, voting results, and all significant discussions and decisions made during the meeting. The document must be signed by the meeting chair and kept in the company's records for at least seven years. With recent legislative changes, these minutes can now formally record both physical and virtual meetings, reflecting modern corporate practices while maintaining legal compliance requirements.
