Forge Group Ltd was a successful construction company with a good outlook and great management of operations. It took over a company called CTEC in January 2012 for $16 million + $22.6 million earn-outs. In effect, the takeover meant they bought two major contracts for the construction of 1. the Diamantina Power Station and 2. the West Angelas Power Station. It was these two contracts that seemed to have underperformed with cost blowouts causing considerable strain on resources. The contracts were said to be worth approximately 25% of the $1.8 billion order book. So they were significant contracts. Required: 1. Outline the key duties of directors. 2. Outline the arguments for the directors of Forge Group Ltd that they carried out their duties.3. Outline the arguments for shareholders, creditors and employees that the directors of Forge Group Ltd didn't carry out their duties. 4. Give your opinion as to whether the directors of Forge Group Ltd carried out their duties. 5. Journalist Paul Garvey from The Australian on 18 February, 2014 stated: "A spokesman for Ferrier Hodgson said the group was aware of claims circulating on social media that allegedly detail expenses incurred ahead of the group's slip into administration last week. Allegations suggest some senior managers cashed out their leave entitlements earlier this year and relocated to Sydney at the company's cost. ... The Australian revealed on Saturday that senior Forge managers had been relocated to Sydney at significant expense in the months after Forge first revealed the power station contract issues that ultimately proved fatal. .... News of the spending and the rumours of the annual leave payout have angered some Forge shareholders whose holdings now appear worthless ......"
