Addressing the launch of the CA Sri Lanka - organized Corporate Directors Program last week at the Colombo Hilton, Dr. Godahewa said that the law does not differentiate between executive directors and non-executive directors. ‘An independent director who is expected to bring on board certain expertise cannot plead that he is not an executive director and only a specialist. You cannot accept office of a director without assuming the relevant responsibilities. So, it is important that you be conscious what those resonsibilities are and also its implications, he explained.
