Understanding Company Directors’ and Secretaries Responsibility

Who Should Attend / Learning Outcome

Many newly appointed directors are so keen to make their mark on corporate performance that they ‘forget’ to understand the legal and executive responsibilities that being appointed a Director entails.

There is rarely a formal ‘manual’ to refer too, meaning that many new and even established Directors feel uneasy as if they are ‘missing something’.
