Why Directors Are Accountable To Their Shareholders.
Company Company Officers need to be honest, role models, mentors, approachable, loyal, respected and consistent to be effective. Company Officers Images "I do not regret having done as I have done, for I with many thousands was honest and enlisted for our country." An important aspect of ASIC's work is related to small companies, and their directors, who through failure to comply with basic requirements, harm creditors and consumers and make the work of company liquidators in recovering property for creditors harder. ASIC's prosecution of company officers related to a range of contraventions, including the failure to assist liquidators and administrators in the administration of their failed companies, company officers continuing to act as officers of a company following the appointment of a liquidator, and officers and their companies failing to update ASIC registers with the addresses of their companies and company officers in an attempt to hide from creditors. 'These requirements might look like just minor 'housekeeping' matters, but if directors fail to do these things, it generally hurts creditors, often small businesses themselves, who have dealt with the company. This is why we follow up on this work and will chase company directors who don't do the right thing here', Mr Borchok said. 'ASIC will take action against company officers that hamper the role of a liquidator in assessing how much the failed company might be able to return to creditors. Where company officers are uncooperative and refuse to provide information on the company's finances and history, ASIC will step in and take whatever action is necessary', Mr Borchok said.
