...CASE ANALYSIS QUESTION 1 From the legal perspective, were there any abuses of power by the management and breach of fiduciary on the part of the directors? In our opinion, there are abuses of power by the management in the company of Delima Enterprise Sdn Bhd. The management should act in the best interest of the company not the best interest of the director. For example in this case, the management uses their power to withdrawals several money from the company without proper documentation. It is illegal because management is not allowed to take money without authorization. Another abuse of power use by management is they claimed the personal vehicle expenses charged to the company. The management should be aware of separate legal entity. All this problem occurs because lack of internal control and no segregation of duties among staff in the Delima Enterprise Sdn Bhd. Director plays an important role in the management of the company and adopting policy decisions to the company. Therefore the directors have certain important duties while conducting company business. There are three types of fiduciary duties of company director which are duty of reasonable care, skill and diligent, duty to act in good faith in the best interest of the company and duty to avoid conflict interest. Director is responsibilities to fulfill their fiduciary duty and owes a corporation duty of trust and is bound to act in the best interest of its shareholders. The first duties that the directors must be...

...1) The important of separation of right and duty between shareholder and management. Delima Enterprise Sdn. Bhd. was a large company due to these reasons; the company had been awarded with several engineering projects and its cumulative revenue for 2004 and 2005 were nearly RM 1 million and RM 1.7 million respectively. By referring that reasons, we can say that it was a large company. As a large company, the shareholders are separated from Board of Director and management. However, in this case, there is no separation or segregations of rights and duties between shareholder and management. Segregation of right and duties means assign two or more competent and qualified individuals in a way that provides reasonable assurance comply with the standards. It means, at any time , no one person should be in position of doing the primary functions of authorizing, recording and taking care the custody of assets. Besides, shareholders and director have two completely different roles in company. Shareholders are owner of the company while director manage the company. From what we can see in this case, Encik Zayed is the shareholder of Delima Enterprise Sdn. Bhd., in the same time he act as Managing Director. Meanwhile Puan Hashimah is the shareholder of Delima Enterprise, in the same time she act as Chief Operating Officer. Before the company hire Cik Amy as Finance Executive, Puan Hashimah was responsible for all finance related matters. There is clearly stated that they do not have...
