"The Director's Handbook is published by the Institute of Directors (IoD) in association with law firm Pinsent Masons. It is not a legal text book; it is a practical resource for those who run companies and need to understand the ever-changing legal and regulatory environment in which they operate. All companies - large or small, public or private - and many other organisations too, will find it useful."--BOOK JACKET.
