Directors' duties aren't a checklist — they're the architecture of lawful board action. Ethics Room works through the statutory duties, the proper-purposes test, and the governance values that sit beneath them.
Curated by Matthew Doyle · mæd partners
"Directors rarely break their duties on purpose. Breaches happen through oversight — someone didn't read the articles, didn't check the delegation, didn't ask what the power was for. Ethics Room is for the people whose job it is to catch that before it reaches the minutes."
