Through the mill
Article Abstract:
The insolvency of the grain miller, Water Wheel, provides a message to the non-executive directors that they must ensure that competent managers have briefed them completely on the companyEs financial position. They are not just figureheads and cannot be allowed by the court to defend themselves by saying that they were unaware about it. The Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) have provided a list of signs of insolvency and have launched a campaign against insolvent trading.
