Fiduciary Duty

DID YOU KNOW?

 

Defined: Fiduciary Duty

This is the general duty of trust which rests on anyone acting not for themselves but for another. Directors, trustees, committee members and employees of organisations are required to act with the level of care and diligence which could reasonably be expected of someone taking care of the affairs/money/property of another. This duty is owed to the organisation and also to its beneficiaries.
