Company Directors have many obligations to fulfil in their roles as
Directors.When you make a business decision as a company director, you
must, amongst other things, ensure that you:
* Make the decision in good faith and for a proper purpose;
* Do not have a material personal interest in the decision and make
it in the best interests of the company;
* Find out and assess how any decision will affect your company’s
business performance, especially if it involves a lot of the
company’s money or could have a material impact on the company's
reputation;
* Keep informed about your company’s financial position and
performance, ensuring your company can pay its debts on time;
* Get trusted professional advice when you need assistance to make
an informed decision;
* Make full and frank disclosure about any material personal
interests you do have.
As detailed above Company directors have an obligation to ensure that
the company is not trading insolvent. If they fail in this duty, the
consequences are dire, putting personal assets (including potentially
the family home) at risk. Furthermore, all directors of a company are
equally liable. This duty cannot be delegated.
The best and proper way to protect both yourself and your company is
for all directors to regularly request and review management accounts
monthly.
As directors, you need to be constantly aware of your company’s
financial position.
