Who calls a general meeting?

Who calls a general meeting?

• A. The Board
• B. The auditors
• C. The shareholders
• D. The chairman

Answer: (A)

General meetings are convened by the board of directors. They are responsible for issuing the notice of the meeting, setting the date, time, place, and agenda, and ensuring the meeting can be held in accordance with the company’s constitution and legal requirements. The chairman’s job is to preside over the meeting, not to summon it. Auditors are focused on auditing accounts and do not call meetings. Shareholders participate and can request a meeting in some circumstances, but the authority to call a general meeting in ordinary course sits with the board.
