Memorandum Of Association Constitution of Company.pptseri bangash
www.seribangash.com
A Memorandum of Association (MOA) is a legal document that outlines the fundamental principles and objectives upon which a company operates. It serves as the company's charter or constitution and defines the scope of its activities. Here's a detailed note on the MOA:
Contents of Memorandum of Association:
Name Clause: This clause states the name of the company, which should end with words like "Limited" or "Ltd." for a public limited company and "Private Limited" or "Pvt. Ltd." for a private limited company.
https://seribangash.com/article-of-association-is-legal-doc-of-company/
Registered Office Clause: It specifies the location where the company's registered office is situated. This office is where all official communications and notices are sent.
Objective Clause: This clause delineates the main objectives for which the company is formed. It's important to define these objectives clearly, as the company cannot undertake activities beyond those mentioned in this clause.
www.seribangash.com
Liability Clause: It outlines the extent of liability of the company's members. In the case of companies limited by shares, the liability of members is limited to the amount unpaid on their shares. For companies limited by guarantee, members' liability is limited to the amount they undertake to contribute if the company is wound up.
https://seribangash.com/promotors-is-person-conceived-formation-company/
Capital Clause: This clause specifies the authorized capital of the company, i.e., the maximum amount of share capital the company is authorized to issue. It also mentions the division of this capital into shares and their respective nominal value.
Association Clause: It simply states that the subscribers wish to form a company and agree to become members of it, in accordance with the terms of the MOA.
Importance of Memorandum of Association:
Legal Requirement: The MOA is a legal requirement for the formation of a company. It must be filed with the Registrar of Companies during the incorporation process.
Constitutional Document: It serves as the company's constitutional document, defining its scope, powers, and limitations.
Protection of Members: It protects the interests of the company's members by clearly defining the objectives and limiting their liability.
External Communication: It provides clarity to external parties, such as investors, creditors, and regulatory authorities, regarding the company's objectives and powers.
https://seribangash.com/difference-public-and-private-company-law/
Binding Authority: The company and its members are bound by the provisions of the MOA. Any action taken beyond its scope may be considered ultra vires (beyond the powers) of the company and therefore void.
Amendment of MOA:
While the MOA lays down the company's fundamental principles, it is not entirely immutable. It can be amended, but only under specific circumstances and in compliance with legal procedures. Amendments typically require shareholder

1st UIC African Rail Digital Summit 2019
1. PRESS RELEASE 3/2019
UIC, the worldwide railway association organises the 1st African Railway
Digital Summit
Towards an up-to-date strategic path to Digitalisation of Railways in Africa
(Paris, 14 February 2019) UIC, the worldwide railway organisation, and the NEPAD Planning and
Coordinating Agency, with the support of the AU, African Union, have the great pleasure to invite
you to participate in the First African Rail Digital Summit, themed “the Continent of the Digital
Future for Rail”, which will take place from 25 – 27 February 2019.
The venue of this event is the Cape Town Marriott Hotel Crystal Towers, Cape Town, South Africa.
For the first time the conference will provide unique opportunities to develop and enhance
synergies between politicians, railways, economists, the supply industry and African digital
ecosystems (African start-ups and universities) and therefore to support the development of rail on
the African continent thanks to digital developments.
The conference will give the floor to the most important and key speakers. The programme is
available at: https://bit.ly/2UY9v3t
High-level politicians and economists, academics and manufacturers will deliver their vision on
African Digital Rail. The Summit will alternate between plenary sessions and workshops.
One of the expected deliverables is an up-to-date strategic path to African Digitalisation for Rail.
Jean-Pierre Loubinoux, UIC Director General, said: “UIC’s philosophy is Share, Open, Connect.
This applies to the revolution brought about by digital technologies to the rail system as a whole –
whether for aspects of productivity through management of capacity, assets, safety and security, or
services.
The contribution of new technology should also be made in a new frame of mind, and the
contribution of new generations as well as the opening of a digital eco-system are essential to
shape thinking and therefore forge the railways of the future.
UIC has opened up this dimension through its network of universities, its closer relations with
incubators and start-ups – all creative think-tanks.
The Cape Town Conference is also focused on Africa, whose younger generations are the future
of the systems which will being impetus to its infrastructure and services at international level, so
greatly needed across the continent.”
UIC, together with the African Union and NEPAD are looking forward to welcoming you to Cape
Town.
