Description

This brand new edition is a straightforward, easy-to-read guide to the rights and duties that go with the office of director. Backed by the first class experience of Touche Ross in this field, it provides simple explanation to this complex subject. Comprehensive, it tackles every issue to be faced by a company director. The new edition has been completely updated and revised in the light of the 1989 Companies Act and includes the disqualification of directors under the new insolvency rules, new disclosure requirements regarding director's remuneration, director's reports and much more. It also incorporates full references to statutes, case law and other authorities. Totally practical, it provides reliable answers to a host of questions. For further guidance, it includes a checklist of directors' responsibilities in relation to unfitness and wrongful trading.
