Initial Public OfferingsRecent regulatory changes, such as the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, have had a major impact on the way corporations are governed. In this one day seminar, we focus on corporate governance issues as well as related items, such as ethics and financial reporting. Topics include corporate structure and policy statements, including issues related to a CEO, CFO and an audit committee; delegation of authority and responsibilities among boards of directors, officers, and management; fiduciary responsibilities of the company's directors, management and employees; protection for whistleblowers; the reporting and disclosure requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act; and the role of the newly created Public Company Accounting Oversight Board. |
