Course Content
The sponsors of the new Companies Act believe it is the most significant piece of company legislation since the introduction of the limited liability company. What is already clear is that it will have a fundamental effect on the relationship between those involved in companies: shareholders, directors and auditors. This course will be valuable for both accountants and auditors who are involved in advising the owners and managers of companies in the UK.
On completion of this session, delegates will have an overview of the changes that affect companies due to the Company Law Reform Act and appreciate how the new legislation affects them and their clients.
Learning outcomes include a greater understanding of:
- New company issues: formation, names, constitution and share capital
- The company's constitution
- Decision making for private companies, public companies and the rights of members
- Director's duties and responsibilities
- Company Secretarial issues
- Company reporting and audit
- Limiting auditors' liability
