Directors & Their Duties
This event took place on Tuesday 28 March 2023
This CPD session focused on directors duties and what a Company Secretary can do to aid a Board in meeting those duties.
Following a brief background to directors duties, the session turned to a number of practical elements, focusing on board meetings, the importance of appropriate board packs and supporting documentation, challenge (and support) from the board and the accurate recording of this and how working together the board, company secretary and executive management team can assist and support the directors in exercising their individual duties (and perhaps just as importantly, demonstrating this).
