duties to the company that prevent the directors from pursuing their own interests. The duty of loyalty is the most important fiduciary duty that acts as a defence for the company against unscrupulous directors. It is intended to address the issue of conflict of interest between the directors and the firm. Under this duty, the directors of a company are expected to act in the company’s interests, as opposed to their own. Conflicts of interest between the director and the company may arise during transactions between related parties, known as self-dealing transactions. They are referred to as self-dealing transactions because the directors are doing business with themselves, which makes it impossible for them to reach a fair agreement for the company (Wade, 2011). However, it is important to note that it is impractical to impose a ban on self-dealing transactions, especially for small companies. Consequently, most countries allow self-dealing transactions in companies, provided that the deals have been approved by the other directors. Corporate opportunities can also be a source of conflict between the interests of the director and those of the company. This is where the director takes advantage of opportunities that are of a commercial interest to the company (Davis and Whitley, 2009, pp. 38). The duty of loyalty also places other expectations on the directors of a company. They are required to abstain from engaging in any form of fraudulent behaviour, which includes theft of…

Finally the day was Wednesday the 13th of August. I was so excited to be attending the Jackson County Fair with Ryan, my boyfriend, this year. But the one thing I wasn 't excited for was to ride The Ring Of Fire. This was the ride I gazed at from my house, three blocks away. Sixty feet high in the sky, round like a ferris wheel, passengers would sit in a caged style ride, that looped around clockwise and counterclockwise, and occasionally stops at the top. The fire engine red loop reminded…
“UC Davis Career and Internship Fair” This fall I started my journey with UC Davis. Davis is a really exciting, new and challenging chapter in my life. I moved from San Mateo, where I lived with my fiancée, to an apartment in Davis where I live on my own. Starting new school, and being surrounded by many new faces is not easy. I am not a person who can easily meet and connect with new people. UC Davis offers a lot of events for its students, some of them are very exciting like the…
I am in a club called 4-H. I have been in 4-H for 1 year, Iam starting my second year. I think that my first year going to fair was really awesome and fun. I got excited when I when to fair. 2 days before fair was the day that our projects (besides the animals) got judged. When me and my Mom drove to the fairgrounds I was excited and nervous at the same. When we got there we unloaded all the small stuff. We had to have some help unloading my big, heavy, wood compost box. There was at…
When most people think of the North Carolina State Fair many things come to mind such as richly smoked tin foil wrapped turkey legs, tipping, turning neon rides, driving around in circles looking for a place to park, and foods that no one would ever think to deep fry. When I think of the North Carolina State fair, I think of cold fall breezes, ammonia, sawdust, haircuts, and rushing around. My side of the State Fair is the side few see and many ignore. The State Fair for me normally begins…
Over the last two weeks I have been preparing to show at the Coshocton County Fair as I have done for many years. At this fair I take two completely different animals that I raise and show; these animals are chickens and hogs. Normally, I do very well when I show my chickens. I have always excelled in my showmanship class. I have won my showmanship class five total years counting this year. I had always wanted to win the Supreme Poultry Showman title, and this year I accomplished that. Sine I…
He has helped me at the county fair, our 4-H banquet and he even checks on my dog when I am out of town for the weekend. I am thankful to have his help when it comes to these situations! According to Scales, Benson, Leffert, and Blyth (2000), self-esteem may be related to the act of helping others. This would explain what Codey believes to be his best asset: the ability to intellectually voice his opinion with reason when in a discussion. Codey is also passionate about helping others in…

In 1958 hobbies when on tour and found out latin music wasn't for…
