Sarbanes-Oxley：公司主管遵守指南（SARBANES-OXLEY AND THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS） mobi 下载 网盘 caj lrf pdf txt 阿里云

If you're a sitting or prospective board member of a corporation, how can you ensure that you and other directors are in compliance with Sarbanes-Oxley and other regulatory requirements? How can you maximize your contribution to the board and the company, and minimize your risk as a board member?

Serving on the board of directors of a company is a tremendous honor, but now it's also a tremendous resp***ibility. Due to legislation and regulati*** stemming from corporate fraud at Enron, WorldCom, and other companies, board members are now under scrutiny—particularly their role in the oversight of financial reporting and corporate governance practices. Board members must be informed and engaged. Directors are charged to represent the interest of the company's shareholders. Failure can result in damage to a person's reputation and personal liability. The risks are not limited to directors of large public companies. Recent legislation applies to publicly held companies, but not-for-profit entities and other companies are increasingly held to similar standards.

Sarbanes-Oxley and the Board of Directors is a practical, down-to-earth guide for board members. It covers everything from board basics to compliance with regulati*** . . . from corporate culture and values to assessing and reacting to hostile shareholder activities.

Complete with real-world examples, vignettes, case studies, and other information, this guide helps board members, CEOs, CFOs, and others understand their resp***ibilities and potential liabilities and implement effective corporate governance. It covers:

Building a strong framework for effective governance

Ways to protect board members (including an ***ysis of the strengths and weaknesses of indemnity and insurance protecti***)

Board committees—ones to have and ones to avoid

Establishing high standards and healthy board dynamics

Specific guidance for effective corporate oversight and communicati***

Red flags that signal the need for prompt investigation and action

Specific issues faced by not-for-profit boards, advisory boards, and boards of small public companies

Sarbanes-Oxley and the Board of Directors also includes proven best practices from preeminent companies that can serve as benchmarks and models for evaluating and strengthening corporate governance. It gives directors the knowledge, techniques, and tools to serve the company and its stockholders well.
