- Course Aims:
This podcast aims to explain some of the major provisions of the Companies Act 2006 that are likely to affect companies following their implementation in October 2009. Special attention will be given to the new role of the memorandum of association and changes affecting articles of association and how existing companies might choose to amend their constitutional documentation to bring them into line with the new statutory provisions. The podcast also addresses the consequences for many companies of the abolition of the concept of "authorised share capital" in the old style memorandum. It also refers to the new rules on the protection of directors’ and secretaries’ residential addresses from public disclosure and provides practical advice on how these provisions may be taken advantage of.
