In the current climate, sitting on a board can be as risky as it is rewarding. Directors are subject to an increasing number of areas of potential personal liability and reputation risks. The current economic climate combined with increased media reporting of employee underpayments and safety prosecutions have brought into sharp focus the risks that a director takes on when joining a board.

Join Joanne Denley, Chair, Minda Inc, Paul Edginton, CEO, SYC and Erin McCarthy, Partner, Piper Alderman for this live virtual event discussing these topical issues. Facilitated by David Spear, Director, VUCA.

The panel will explore:

  • Areas of potential personal liability for directors (wage theft, WHS prosecutions, tax compliance, insolvency and new whistleblower laws);
  • Due diligence before joining a board;
  • Striking the balance between governance and operational detail in relation to risk management and the role that trust plays in the relationship between management and the board;
  • Red flags and recognising when the board might need to look closer at a particular matter of concern;
  • Knowing when to leave a board; and
  • How to mitigate your personal risk (Deeds of Access and Indemnity, D&O cover).

As The Dynamic Board Series seminars apply the Chatham House Rule, this webinar will not be recorded and will not be available to view at a later date.

Please note: If your company/organisation is deemed to be a competitor of the host organisation for this event, you may be excluded from attending this event. If you believe there may be a conflict or are uncertain, please enquire with ACC Australia.

Registrations for this event are being managed by Piper Alderman directly.

Activist investors often begin planning their campaigns as much as a year in advance of the annual meeting. This includes accumulating stock positions, coordinating with other hedge funds in so-called “wolf packs,” analyzing the target company’s defenses and vulnerabilities, and making initial contacts with the target company. Therefore, target companies should focus on early vigilance and advance preparation.
