Full Description
Interpreting legislation in a practical way, "Tolley's Company Law Handbook" provides guidance to ensure your continued compliance with company law. The A-Z format allows fast access to the information you need. A greater balance between the law and accountancy means it accurately reflects the modern day practitioners' needs. New content includes: new chapter on corporate governance which draws together the UK regulatory structure including the new UK Stewardship Code and a new chapter on security for company borrowing which deals with the taking and giving of security and the validity and priority of charges. Other changes include: new fee structures and web filing at Companies House; new provisions on market abuse short selling; and, Companies House amended guidance on the use of sensitive names and company names which are too like other company names.
