Can an administrator access all company documents?

An administrator generally has extensive access rights to documents and information necessary for the performance of their duties.

As part of his mandate, he may, in particular, have access to:

• to the minutes book and corporate registers;
• to the resolutions and minutes;
• to the relevant financial statements and financial information;
• to important contracts;
• to other documents necessary for the performance of his duties.

This access allows the administrator to be adequately informed about the company's affairs, to participate in the decisions of the board of directors and to perform his duties with prudence, diligence, honesty and loyalty.

However, this does not mean that a director necessarily has an absolute and unrestricted right to all company documents. The nature of the document, its connection to the performance of their duties, and the circumstances may all affect the conditions of access to certain information, particularly information covered by confidentiality agreements signed by the company.

The administrator must also respect the confidentiality of information obtained in the course of his duties and use it in the interest of the company.

In summary , an administrator must have access to the documents and information necessary to perform their duties. However, the scope and terms of this access may vary depending on the nature of the information and the circumstances.
