Document background
A Board Resolution Appointing Officers is a crucial corporate governance document used when a company's board of directors formally appoints new officers or reappoints existing ones. Under Irish law, particularly the Companies Act 2014, companies must maintain proper records of officer appointments and ensure appropriate corporate authorization. This document is typically prepared following a board meeting where officer appointments are discussed and approved, and it must include specific details about the appointments, such as titles, duties, terms of service, and any special authorities granted. The resolution serves multiple purposes: it provides evidence of proper corporate authorization, establishes the scope of officer authority, and creates a record for regulatory compliance. It's particularly important for Irish companies as it forms part of their statutory records and may need to be filed with the Companies Registration Office.
