Overview
CSA, the company secretarial software since 1990, represents a solution for company secretarial professionals in their everyday dealing with the stringent and ever-changing requirements imposed by corporate laws, regulations and different practices in various jurisdictions.CSA utilizes the most advanced information technologies to achieve various objectives; such as increasing productivity of statutory documents processing, reducing repetitive routines, and to manage corporate information more effectively through centralized database.Starting from 1990, P & L Associates has introduced the CSA Professional version to CPAs, lawyers and company secretarial professionals. Since then, several new versions and numerous frequent updates had been released in response to users’ comments and suggestions as well as to cope with the relevant legislative changes.In order to find a solution to the changing landscape of the present-day’s large and small corporations that may cover the entire Greater China region as well as some offshore countries, P & L Associates has conducted many researches and studies on the related jurisdictions and complex share structures. The conclusion is to develop an entirely new system that can handle the complexity of those corporations’ needs. This entirely new 32 bits system adopts the use of the Microsoft SQL database engine for its security and portability. Although the system more complex, it still inherit the fine tradition of the CSA Professional for its user-friendliness and easy-to-use interface.
Basically, we can say that CSA Expert is the administrative layer above the features that are being offered in the existing CSA Professional Plus. It is this layer that needs a more flexible system skeleton, more complex data structure, and more robust data query engine to handle a variety of newly added master files and job functions for effective corporate information management. At the same time, CSA Expert still inherits the fine tradition of CSA Professional Plus for its user-friendliness and easy-to-follow interfaces
