Good Advice For Corporate Directors


Corporate directors often do not realize they are liable for the acts and omissions of the corporation under a variety of laws, including the Income Tax Act.  In some cases, it's possible to reduce or eliminate liability through indemnities of the corporation or through insurance. However, a director’s best defence is to perform due diligence.
