DIRECTORS DUTIES ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES 2 DAY





COMPANY DIRECTOR DUTIES, ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITIES


2024 CORPORATE GOVERNANCE CODE – EFFECTIVE 2025

The 2024 UK Corporate Governance Code was published on 22 January 2024. There
are a few key issues. The main one being Provision 29 , which requires the Board
to make a “Declaration of Effectiveness” of the  internal controls in their
annual Financial Statements. For more information, please click  2024 Corporate
Governance Code

The declaration should cover all material aspects of operational compliance and
reporting. Boards will also have to explain in their annual report how they have
performed their monitoring of the material controls.

The 2024 Corporate Governance Code is applicable to financial years beginning on
or after 1 January 2025.  The 2018 Corporate Governance Code will continue to
apply to all earlier financial years. However, the Provision 29 “Declaration of
Effectiveness” will only apply to financial years beginning on or after 1
January 2026.


THIS 2-DAY COURSE IS A CHARTERED MANAGEMENT INSTITUTE, CMI, RECOGNISED TRAINING
COURSE

This course is assessed as “Excellent” by its delegates. 

The course fee includes a free 2 hour, one to one, follow up session, given as 1
hour per course day

The 2 Day Company Board Director Roles and Responsibilities training course will
enable you to define, analyse and interpret the corporate governance issues
inherent in any business scenario. It will clearly explain the legal
requirements of the Companies Act 2006, especially the seven statutory duties of
directors, the potential liabilities of Directors and their limitations upon
their powers.

This is a very practical course with extensive discussions around case studies
that highlight common Boardroom dilemmas. For example, a common potential
conflict of Interest is that of Subsidiary Board NEDs with Executive roles in
the Parent Companies. This course will enable you to resolve such matters to
make sound Board decisions, which fully comply with your statutory duties as a
Director.

The course can be spread across two separate non-consecutive days.

The first day primarily covers: the director requirements within the latest
Companies Act (Companies Act 2006), including the 7 Statutory Duties of
Directors and the legal limitations on the powers of directors; Director
Liabilities, the 2018 UK Corporate Governance Code; the latest Memorandum and
Articles of Association, topical board level issues; Companies House
requirements, the avoidance of potential breaches of the Insolvency Act, which
could lead to  personal liabilities and possible disqualification under the
Director Disqualification Act.

The second day is set within the wider framework of the further laws, codes and
regulations already in force and those that are about to become effective. It
primarily covers: Effective and Efficient Boards, Risk Management, UK Corporate
Governance Reform Drivers, the most recent rules, laws and trends on Director
Pay, EU Corporate Governance applicability within the UK; International Board
Structures; Major Corporate Governance Failures and their early warning
indicators. It also covers offence specific legislation at board level only,
such as; the Bribery Act, the 2017 Criminal Finances Act, the Corporate
Manslaughter Act, Pitfalls and Errors arising from the UK Data Protection Act &
UK GDPR and the Health & Safety at Work Act. All of these are dealt with only at
board level.

The second day also encompasses elements of Board Strategic Financial
Management. These elements will also include, to the level appropriate for board
directors: Acquisitions, Disposals and Goodwill; Budgeting & Pension Issues,
Maximising Shareholder Value and Company Valuations.


INSTITUTE OF LEADERSHIP AND MANAGEMENT APPROVED TRAINING CENTRE

The Companies Act 2006 deems all Board Directors to share equally in the legal
responsibilities of running a company.
It does not differentiate between Executive and Non-Executive Directors. This
means that the legal duties and potential liabilities of Non-Executive Directors
are exactly the same as those of the Executive Directors, no matter how little
or how much time they spend on Board Matters. It would be impossible to fulfil
the legal duties of a Board Director without a good understanding of those legal
roles and responsibilities according to the Companies Act 2006.

Ideally all Executive  and Non-Executive Directors would attend the full 2 day
Director Responsibilities and Roles course to understand all of their core
responsibilities. Non-Executive Directors are subject to the same legal duties
and responsibilities as the Executive Directors. As a minimum, all Directors
should attend at least the 1 Day Director Responsibilities and Roles course,
which is also the first day of the 2 Day Director Responsibilities and Roles
course.

   This training workshop, along with most of our other best practice training
   workshops, can be delivered as an internal training course at your premises.
   Even with small groups, the course fees per person for internal training
   workshops can be lower than for open events. The potential savings are even
   greater, if the travel costs and the travel time of the delegates are
   included.
   
   Running training workshops internally is very convenient for many of our
   clients and allows the participants to explore how key issues will impact on
   them and their organisation. Then as a team they can begin to agree upon
   development action plans and assign priorities. This approach  combines a
   high quality service with excellent value for money and is a highly
   convenient, efficient and effective route for staff development.
