    It will depend on the bank - each will have its own protocol.

    If the company secretary is to be a cheque signatory or have any powers as to bank transactions, then I would expect they would do the check, but if there are, say, two or more directors (who aren't also the co sec) who are signatories, then they probably wouldn't.

    pennywise thanks for that.
    I agree it comes down to the bank and the moment in time.
