Directors' Responsibilities Course Outline

The law and the expectations of Directors have developed considerably in the light of statute and as a result of scandals such as Enron. There is pressure to raise standards of corporate governance with an increasingly litigious environment and the Financial Services Authority focusing on the area of Directors' responsibilities in its risk assessment of authorised firms.

This half day briefing is designed for new Directors or those unfamiliar with recent legislation and the development of the Combined Code of Corporate Governance. The event is delivered by an experienced course leader who has held a number of driectorships in major financial institutions and can explain the practical application of the law and compare and contrast different areas of legislation that impact upon individuals.
