In late 2010, the Institute of Directors in Ireland published the Directors' Handbook, a best practice guide to being a director in Ireland. Outlining the duties and responsibilities of the role, it is a comprehensive guide to being a director in Ireland.

Covering a wide range of responsibilities; from the duties of the non-executive director to that of the chairperson and company secretary, the Directors’ Handbook also outlines the tasks of the board of directors, the functions of board committees, and the procedures for appointing and removing directors. It explains the multiple compliance and legal issues facing directors in Ireland, as well as outlining corporate governance requirements for Irish organisations.

The Directors’ Handbook is specifically designed to improve the knowledge and expertise of directors, so as to build better quality boards and strengthen governance frameworks.

Produced with the support of the Institute of Directors in the UK and in association with McCann FitzGerald, the Directors' Handbook is available to all IoD Ireland members free of charge and is available for a fee of €10 per copy (incl p&p) to non-members.

To purchase a copy of the Directors' Handbook please call 01 411 0010.
