Document background
Board Minutes are fundamental corporate governance documents required under Belgian law for documenting board meetings and decisions. They must be prepared in accordance with the Belgian Code of Companies and Associations (CCA) and should be maintained at the company's registered office. These minutes serve multiple purposes: they provide a legal record of board decisions, protect directors by documenting their deliberations and votes, and serve as evidence of corporate actions for shareholders, auditors, and regulatory authorities. Board Minutes are essential for demonstrating compliance with corporate governance requirements and can be crucial in legal proceedings or regulatory investigations. They must be drafted in the official language of the company's region within Belgium and require proper authentication through signatures of authorized individuals.
