Which item is governed by the Articles of Association?

• A. Name of the company.
• B. Address of the head office.
• C. Declared aims of business.
• D. Procedures followed at meetings.

Answer: (D)

The thing being tested is how internal governance rules are set for a company. The Articles of Association lay out the procedures for how the company is run, including how meetings are called, who can attend, what counts as a quorum, how votes are taken, and how resolutions are passed. That’s why the item governed by the Articles is the procedures followed at meetings—these are the formal rules that ensure meetings operate smoothly and decisions are made in a consistent, legally compliant way. The other items aren’t governed by the Articles: the name of the company and the address of the head office are registration details set in the incorporation documents, while the declared aims of the business (the objects) are stated in the Memorandum of Association.
