17 February 2012 Dear Experts,

Can any person act as a Compliance Officer of the Company?

Is it necessary he should be a Company Secretary only?

What are the qualifications required to act as a Compliance Officer?

Waiting for your answer.

Thanks & Regards,
Siddhi

17 February 2012 Hi,

It is not necessary that a company secretary should be a compliance officer. Yes any person can act as a compliance officer. A person should be capable of understanding financial statements and financially literate.

A CS trainee too becomes a compliance certificate.
