Sir please kindly thoroughly explain the difference between the de-facto and shadow directors.How can we differentiate between these two types of directors? What are those distinctive/unique/decisive factors that we need to watch out for in exam when we are looking to differentiate between these two types of directors?
Ask the Tutor ACCA LW
How to know it in exam!!
6y ago#1A de facto director is 'anybody occupying the position of director by whatever name called' whereas a shadow director is 'a person in accordance with whose instructions the directors are accustomed to act'
So a de facto director is a person within the company, maybe with the title of, say, procurement secretary, but that person's actions are in the nature of those taken by properly appointed and titled 'director'
A shadow director is not necessarily a person from within the company, say a brother of a substantial shareholder, but the properly appointed directors follow the instructions of that person
OK?
