Document background
First Meeting Minutes are required for all newly incorporated companies in Ireland as part of their statutory records. This document must be prepared following the first meeting of the board of directors, typically held shortly after company incorporation. The minutes record fundamental decisions such as the appointment of directors and officers, adoption of the company constitution, and establishment of banking arrangements. Under Irish law, First Meeting Minutes form part of the company's statutory records and must be maintained at the registered office or other designated location. The document serves as evidence of compliance with the Companies Act 2014 and demonstrates proper corporate governance from the company's inception. It may be required for various corporate purposes, including bank account opening, regulatory compliance, and future due diligence exercises.
