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

An approach to transform companies into becoming client-
centeredIBM Design Thinking Framework
16. Invest for client outcomes
By framing your case around the client, you ensure that
you will deliver capability your client will value and use.
“As a Buyer, I need to execute and manage my purchasing
within our Ariba S2P system, so that I can reduce costs and
control spend.”
“As an end-user at ZYX Co, I need to select my products
from a pre-defined catalog so I can save time for myself
and my company’s money.”
“As an AP rep, I need to receive electronic invoices so I can
reconcile payments automatically and optimize my
DPO.”
Empathy Map
17. Envision the User Experience
As-Is Scenario or Client Journey Mapping can reveal the pain points in the current client
journey and identify focus areas for improvement
Group common and related ideas
Look for opportunities which are
high-impact and highly feasible
Engage Sponsor Users
Feasibility
Impact
18. Collaborate, Align, Engage!
However, everyone on the team knows something
about your customer
Radical Collaboration means that all key stakeholders
participate from the beginning
Include Sponsor Users in your effort on an ongoing
basis
Keep the focus on the client outcome and value to be
delivered – this keeps everyone aligned on the same
goal
Don’t be afraid of crazy ideas. You may not use them,
but they will help you in the end.
19. In conclusion
Design Thinking puts the client at the center of everything you do, but it’s a
continuous effort, not a one-time deal
Cross-functional teams help you to better understand the different dimensions of
your client
Including the client (Sponsor User) in your planning might sound scary, but it will
help you deliver a better solution in the end
Regularly review your progress with stakeholders and sponsor users to ensure
alignment on the goal
