08 June 2011 In XYZ, we have 4 nos of executive director appointed on monthly remuneration basis who works full-time to carry out the company’s daily operations.
Mr. A is not holding any directorship in the company,but having ownership of stake of equity.He is not involved in any day to day operations except signing the salaries payments of staff as a signatory authority.

Would Mr.A is responsible/liable for any act or omission or proven negligent ?

Thanks,
