With this comprehensive, user-friendly guide you can be assured that you comply with an ever-growing maze of legislation and minimise your exposure to personal liability.

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 and outlines how these can arise and provides guidance on how to minimize their effects. This new edition has been fully updated and revised to take account of all the latest changes to law and practice. It includes new material on: employee comparability and consultation, including part time employees and fixed term contract personnel; accounting for 'human assets'; the Operating and Financial Review; and Corporate Social Responsibility.
