What Directors Need to Know:
Corporate Governance |
"Carol Hansell titles her book What
Directors Need to Know: Corporate Governance, and the book absolutely
delivers. It is a clearly written and very logically structured primer on
corporate governance from the director’s perspective. But don’t let
the simplicity fool you: its “Current Issues” and “Leading
Cases” add depth and context to the wealth of information. I am
particularly gratified by Carol’s frequent references to the National
Association of Corporate Directors’ Blue Ribbon Commission reports and
other NACD publications as examples of best corporate practices. We are all on
the same page for better boards, whether in Canada or the U.S." - Roger Raber,
President Chief Executive, Officer National Association of Corporate Directors,
Washington, DC |
Written for directors by Canada’s leading expert
in corporate governance, this invaluable resource introduces directors to basic
concepts in corporate governance, with particular emphasis on their own duties
and responsibilities. It explains the elements of corporate governance and the
roles of each of the players in the governance process.
The author
provides a concise overview of the basics of being a director, including the
division between the board and management, the elements of board decision
making, how a corporation selects its directors, what to consider before
joining a board and when to resign from a board.

Also described are the basic duties of every
director - the fiduciary duty and duty of care, how directors exercise due
diligence and how their decisions are protected by the business judgment rule.
Finally, the author explains how directors can be subject to personal
liability and what they can do to protect themselves.
Full of real-life
examples that will help directors to see how legal and best practice standards
are applied, this book explains complex legal concepts in a way that every
director will understand and details current best practice standards. |
