Board member

Board member

A board member is a person who sits on a limited company's board of directors.

What is a board member?

A board member is a person elected to sit on the board of a limited company. The board is responsible for the company's organisation and management, and is normally elected by the general meeting.

 

The board's responsibility for the share ledger

It is the board's responsibility to ensure the company's share ledger is set up, kept up to date and available. If a board member fails to keep it correct, it can lead to liability under the Companies Act. A deputy board member can step in when an ordinary member is unable to serve. A digital share ledger makes the board's duty easier to meet.
