  Directors of UK companies have an extensive range of legal responsibilities, not just in relation to managing the company but also to employees, shareholders, customers and other stakeholders. Now in its third edition, The ICSA Director's Guide explains all the core duties and liabilities of being a director from appointment to resignation, including disclosures, shareholder relations and corporate governance. This new edition has been revised and updated to provide extensive commentary on the Companies Act 2006 and its implications for company directors, particularly in relation to the new statutory statement of directors' duties, which adds further weight to the wider responsibilities directors have towards employees, customers, creditors and the environment.In addition, the commentary has been thoroughly revised to take account of: the Combined Code 2006; due diligence for the induction of directors; disclosure and transparency rules as they relate to listed, AIM and PLUS market companies; new requirements for electronic communications; and, breach of duty and derivative claims. For both seasoned and newly appointed directors, executive or non-executive, this guide is the essential, handy reference to help them identify and comply with their duties prescribed by company law and regulation. This book is intended as a pocket-sized publication for directors to carry with them and use as a quick reference guide. It has been written in a concise and easy to read way so directors can quickly find the basic facts about their duties, responsibilities and what they need to do to comply.
