Overview

Inside the Minds: Winning Legal Strategies for Corporate Governance is an authoritative, insider's perspective on one of the most complex - and costly - legal issues for businesses. Featuring chairs and partners representing some of the nation's leading firms, this book is a practical guide for executives, board members, and employees at all levels for understanding the laws behind corporate governance (from Sarbanes-Oxley to securities law) and implementing customized sets of best practices to ensure compliance. The eleven seasoned attorneys in this book offer analysis of the current regulatory framework and adaptable strategies for meeting its demands and avoiding external investigations, including criminal inquiries. From establishing codes of ethics and employee education programs to the internal audit process and responding to allegations, readers will walk away with a better understanding of the various components of corporate governance and how to proactively tackle the challenges they present. Included are several useful sample documents that combined with the expert advice captured in each chapter, make Winning Legal Strategies for Corporate Governance an indispensable business resource. About Inside the Minds : Inside the Minds provides readers with proven business intelligence from C-Level executives (Chairman, CEO, CFO, CMO, Partner) from the world's most respected companies nationwide, rather than third-party accounts from unknown authors and analysts. Each chapter is comparable to an essay/thought leadership piece and is a future-oriented look at where an industry, profession or topic is headed and the most important issues for the future. Through an exhaustive selection process, each author was hand-picked by the Inside the Minds editorial board to author a chapter for this book. The table of contents include: Cynthia M.
