About this module

Personal liability under the Companies Act reaches into your own estate.

This module unpacks sections 22, 76, 77, and 162, plus D&O insurance and the record that protects you. The governing-body duty is the same whether you sit on a company board, a board of trustees, a public-entity council or accounting authority, or a body corporate. Intermediate means we assume you already know what a board does. We start where the personal accountability starts: your own estate. [132/180 chars, PASS].
