If I outsource to an accountant and a corporate secretary, am I still responsible as a director?

Yes—directors remain responsible for making sure filings are done and records are kept properly, even if the work is delegated. In practice, the risk comes from not knowing what was filed, what’s due next, or whether corporate actions (like share changes) were documented. A lightweight “director dashboard” (year end, due dates, what’s been filed, and who controls access) helps prevent surprises
