What is another term for the articles of incorporation?

• A. Corporate Charter
• B. Corresponding Secretary
• C. Counted Vote
• D. Credential

Answer: (A)

In corporate governance, the articles of incorporation are the formal document filed with the state to create a corporation. Another common name for that document is the corporate charter. The corporate charter serves as the legal birth certificate of the company, outlining its name, purpose, duration, registered agent, and share structure. That’s why corporate charter is the best term for what the question asks about. The other options refer to different things: a Corresponding Secretary is a meeting role, a Counted Vote describes a voting method, and Credential refers to proof of authority or eligibility, not a formation document.
