How to Prepare for Your Annual General Meeting (AGM)
For many Singapore companies, the Annual General Meeting (AGM) feels like a boring formality —
but it’s a legal requirement that can trip you up if you’re unprepared.
Here’s how to handle it smoothly.
1️⃣ Do You Even Need to Hold an AGM?
✅ Yes → if you’re a private limited company unless you qualify for exemption (small or exempt private companies).
✅ Check your company constitution to confirm.
💡 Even if exempt, you still need to file annual returns.
2️⃣ When Should You Hold It?
✅ Within 6 months of your Financial Year End (FYE).
✅ Plan ahead — leaving it to the last minute can cause compliance headaches.
3️⃣ What Must Be Covered in the AGM?
✅ Present and approve financial statements
✅ Discuss director reports
✅ Address shareholder questions
✅ Pass necessary resolutions
It’s a governance checkpoint, not just a box-ticking exercise.
4️⃣ What Documents Should You Prepare?
✅ Audited (or unaudited, if allowed) financial statements
✅ AGM agenda and notices
✅ Director’s statement and report
Your corporate secretary usually handles this paperwork.
