In essence, excellent command over English, both written and oral is important for a company secretary. At the same time ability to understand, analyse complex and technical issues and exercise accordingly with tact and intelligence are other essentials. It is the moral responsibility of the company secretary to be loyal to his organisation on knowing their top level plans and important secrets.
