Solution

Meaning: In a Joint Stock Company the usual committees are formed from among the members of the Board of Directors. A meeting of the members of such committee is called committee meeting e.g. a meeting allotment committee.

Legal Provisions: The Articles of Association of the company provide for the appointment of different committees and holding their meetings to expedite the managerial work. Such committee is formulated to investigate and submit a report after a careful examination of various aspects of the problem under investigation from all possible angles. The rules and procedure for convening and conducting committee meeting are generally laid down by the Board.

Assistance: The Secretary has to provide needed assistance to the committee. He is required to prepare and maintain separate minute’s book to record the proceedings of committee meetings.

Frequency: The committee collects the relevant information of the problem under consideration and holds several meetings for a detailed study of the collected information. The committee then prepares a report for consideration and approval of the Board. To carry out the assigned work systematically, to discuss the problems and to exchange views, the committee members frequently arrange the committee meetings.
