5 “Tricks of the Trade” for Your Corporate Secretary Budget

Corporate secretaries are constantly asked to do more with less. It seems that every company is always trying to cut and hold down costs.

The challenging thing for corporate secretaries is that you can’t ever skimp on taking good care of your board. Your senior managers. You don’t ever want to be in the position where you’ve left out a presentation from an outside advisor – that helps to illustrate that the board had the right advice and they were diligent – because you were under budget pressure and didn’t bring that person in. How can you pull all this off on a tight budget?

Here are 5 to know about trying to live within your own budget:

• Identify priorities
• Revisit priorities after a major event
• Track how you spend time & money
• Get tracking help from in-house experts
• How to ask for more money
