Directors' Duties and Corporate Governance

Directors' Duties and Corporate Governance is a comprehensive, practical book for legal practitioners, accountants, directors, company officers and postgraduate students. It gives a thorough explanation of directors, their roles, duties, rights and responsibilities. 

This book is also a practical manual that places corporate governance in the context of the duties of the directors. Being a vast area encompassing the system by which companies are governed, corporate governance covers the internal regulatory mechanisms such as meetings, shareholders remedies and creditors protection provisions, as well as the external regulatory structure, i.e. the role of the regulatory authorities and self-regulatory organisations, a discussion on environmental responsibilities as citizens and stakeholders' rights. 

Appendices include Corporate Governance Reports; Combined Code; OECD Principles; CALPERS-California; Statement on Internal Control.
