Document background
Action Minutes are essential corporate governance documents used to maintain accurate records of meetings and their outcomes in Canadian organizations. They serve as the official record of decisions made, actions agreed upon, and responsibilities assigned during corporate meetings, board sessions, or committee gatherings. These documents must comply with Canadian federal and provincial corporate legislation, including the Canada Business Corporations Act (CBCA) or relevant provincial acts. Action Minutes are particularly important for maintaining corporate transparency, ensuring accountability, and providing a clear audit trail of organizational decision-making. They are commonly used in situations requiring formal documentation of meeting proceedings, such as board meetings, shareholder meetings, committee meetings, and other official corporate gatherings where decisions are made or actions are determined.
