BEING asked to join a company’s board of directors is often associated with great stature. There is a level of appreciation that is owed to the duties and responsibilities imposed on the director that they should, prior to accepting this role, be aware of in order to properly discharge these duties. This is why the decision to accept an invitation into a company’s board of directors should not be taken lightly.

A director is responsible for the management of the company. In controlling the affairs of the company, directors are required to act within the powers afforded to them by the company’s articles of incorporation and the Companies Act.
