Document background
Decision Minutes are essential corporate governance documents used to record formal decisions made during board, shareholder, or committee meetings in Canadian corporations. These minutes serve as the official record of corporate decision-making and must comply with requirements set forth in Canadian federal and provincial corporate legislation. The document typically includes meeting details, attendance, quorum confirmation, discussions, voting results, and formal resolutions. Decision Minutes are particularly important for maintaining corporate records, demonstrating regulatory compliance, and protecting the organization and its officers by documenting the decision-making process. They may be required for audit purposes, regulatory reviews, or legal proceedings, and must be maintained as part of the corporate record-keeping obligations under Canadian law.
