Fundamentals of Corporate Governance

Recent 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
