The seriousness of the role makes it essential to keep up-to-date with changes and new developments and tounderstand their implications across a wide range of businessactivities. Legislation has been increased to criminalise certainactivities in companies. There are a large number of offences incompany law, which can lead to company directors being finedalong with the company secretary; in serious cases it can lead toa custodial sentence. Individual peril is only one aspect, businesssurvival itself is another.
