Corporate Governance Legal Requirements

Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP produced a good legal primer, Corporate Governance: An Overview of Public Company Requirements, last month. Read it now before it is out of date. Covers Sarbanes-Oxley, Dodd-Frank, and listing requirements in eleven sections:

1. Director Independence
2. Audit Committees
3. Compensation Committees
4. Nominating Committees
5. Compensation
6. Codes of Conduct
7. Certifications
8. Directors/Officers
9. Disclosure
10. Foreign Issuers
11. Miscellaneous

Great resource for any corporate governance library. Hat tip to long-time stakeholder Ralph Ward and his Boardroom Insider for bringing to our attention myCorporateResource.com, which compiles client alerts.
