Board Meetings and Director Duties
Board Meetings
The Company Secretary has no right to attend the board meetings, however it is common practice that they attend and take minutes and help to organise and ensure that the meetings operate effectively.
Directors Duties
Although this is a chapter on company secretarial matters it is the company secretary's role to remind the directors of their duties and therefore the company secretary ought to be fully aware of them.
Directors have a fiduciary duty to the company. They must:
* Act in the best interest of the company.
* Act as trustee in regards the assets of the company.
* To be honest.
* To divulge all conflicts of interest.
* To exercise skill.
A director can find himself personally liable for losses or damages for personal actions or inactions. This is especially true in discrimination cases.
