What
is a Corporate Book? |
Generally,
when a corporation is organized, a corporate book or corporate
file box is prepared by the attorney.
The book or corporate box is usually divided into various
sections including: (1) A
section for Official Documents which might contain the Certificate of
Incorporation, the Articles of Incorporation, any Election of Assumed
Name, any filings with other states, Secretary of State filings, trade
names, as well as, any other official document.
(2) The second section generally contains the Minutes of the
proceedings of the meeting
of the corporation. Included
within the Minutes are the general organizational meeting minutes, the
minutes for the Board of Directors' meetings and the minutes for the
shareholders' meetings, which generally occur at least once annually.
(3) The third section involves the corporate treasury and often
contains a general ledger, shareholders' ledger, a record of the names
of the shareholders, the payments made by them to the corporation for
the stock received, the number of shares held and the stock certificate
number. The reports of the
Treasurer of the corporation will also appear in this section.
(4) A contract section is also generally included and reflects
the various contracts into which the corporation has entered for one
purpose or another. (5) Finally, there is usually a correspondence section which
reflects the correspondence of the officers of the corporation and the
administration of corporate business. |
