Stay on top of your obligations and save time, trouble and costs

The Company Director’s Desktop Guide is an indispensable source of reference on all areas of company law and practice for directors in every type of organisation. It provides essentially practical, jargon-free guidance on every aspect of a director’s duties drawn from the author’s considerable experience.

Directors and managers are confronted with rapidly changing and increasing legislative requirements – at last count British companies were subject to some 22,000 different statutes. Remaining fully conversant with all the obligations, responsibilities and liabilities demanded under Company – and all the other – laws can therefore be a struggle for even the most diligent director or company secretary.

This book explains those responsibilities and obligations in clear terms, emphasising what the law means in practice, how to implement it and how best to minimise risk and avoid potential penalties.

Practical, Jargon-free

The tasks and responsibilities of the company director are becoming more demanding as the amount and complexity of legislation increases. This is a practically oriented book, ideal for you if you:

• Have no legal training – refers to the law but is jargon-free
• Need to know what you have to do and what you should not do – packed with checklists, hints and warnings
• Are pressed for time – focuses on ensuring that you know the essentials and do not break company law
• Are concerned about your liabilities – outlines how these can arise and provides guidance on how to minimize their effects

• gender pay reporting – guidance on setting up and publication
• suggested proposals to prevent a prosecution under the Bribery Act
