Today’s Board Essentials Module 1: Director Liability: Fiduciary Duty & Duty of Care

The potential for this increases when directors don’t understand the fiduciary duties they owe to the bank, shareholders, and customers – especially the duties of loyalty and of care. Furthermore, bank directors are held to high standards of professional conduct, which require them to make reasonable business decisions on a fully informed basis after proper deliberation.

This session will fully explain bank directors’ duties of loyalty and care and the reasonable business judgment rules to help protect directors from personal liability. It will also provide real-world examples of when directors have been held personally liable for a breach of duty.
