The Role And Responsibilities of the Director

Directors, by virtue of their function, carry a heavy burden of duties, obligations and responsibilities in the management of their companies. In addition, the ever increasing influence of law and regulation in that process, some of it pointed directly at them personally in regard to the manner in which they carry out their duties, makes it essential that they equip themselves as fully as possible with a clear knowledge of how this affects them and the companies they serve.
This one-day seminar has been specifically designed to provide a focused overview of what lies behind the modern director’s busy working schedules and offers tips as to how to avoid some of the common pitfalls which only add worry and anxiety to that burden.

Key benefits:

1. You will receive practical, non-legalistic information and guidance as to how to fulfil the role of the director and to manage your company within the constraints of the law.

2. There will be particular emphasis upon the theme of how personal liability for wrongdoing can easily be avoided by acting thoughtfully, responsibly and with consideration for the interests of all within the company (e.g. shareholders and employees) and for those third parties with whom the company deals (e.g. customers, suppliers and bankers).

3. Each session has been planned to offer as much scope as possible for interaction between delegates, both among themselves and with the course tutors.The seminar agenda highlights the titles to be covered and discussed, but is by no means exhaustive.The benefits to be derived from the day promise to be enhanced by the opportunity offered for all to play an active part in the stimulation of discussion.

4. Before the close, the seminar will include a complete up-date on the wide-ranging changes to company law which are still under consideration at the time of publication of this agenda.
