About this publication
The responsibility of running a company can be a mammoth and daunting task, especially for newly promoted directors. Directors are expected to ‘know their stuff’ – and it is ultimately up to them to ensure compliance with the Companies Act, which can be a formidable piece of legislation.
Knowing your way around the Companies Act and its regulations is only acquired by being able to look things up, understanding what is meant, and using this knowledge to make constructive input to board decisions.
This book has gathered related sections of the law into groupings – for example, auditors, directors, and records – and presents them in an easy-to-read style. The indexing of sections makes it possible to see what is required – for instance, with regard to appointing directors, removing them, remuneration, conflict of interests and more – in a single section instead of having to wade through the entire Companies Act to get the answers. As such, it provides a handy assembly of data on the various company-law topics all in one place – a boon for those who have not studied company law and need quick answers, or those who need a succinct refresher.
