In the South African corporate world of entrepreneurship, there are many individuals who serve as directors on boards of companies for the first time but with a limited understanding of their duties, obligations and potential liability. The course will outline the key director’s duties and liabilities under the Companies Act 2008 and King Code IV including:
- Director’s duties
- Director’s liabilities
- Limitation of director’s liability
