The responsibilities of a corporate governance professional are wide-ranging. The CCH Corporate Governance Guide (formerly the Corporate Secretary's Guide) provides a comprehensive resource for this multifaceted function, giving you all you need to stay current on ever-changing regulations and requirements and get the job done better and faster.
As a result of changes in the corporate governance arena, the Corporate Governance Guide was recently fine-tuned to more accurately reflect the current role of the corporate governance professional. The two-volume guide is a comprehensive resource, published in consultation with the Society of Corporate Secretaries & Governance Professionals, covering state corporation law, federal securities law, SEC regulations, and selected court decisions.
The CCH Corporate Governance Guide offers detailed discussion and analysis of a wide range of corporate governance topics, including: boards of directors, executive compensation, proxies, meetings and elections, fiduciary duties, periodic reports, individual liabilities, insider transactions, SEC practice and enforcement, mergers and acquisitions, and international considerations. Another key feature is the state business law summaries for all 50 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico, organized by topic and state to facilitate comparison of the law across multiple jurisdictions. In addition, the guide reproduces the full text of selected SEC regulations (e.g., S-K, S-T) and forms (e.g., 8-K, 10-K, 14A), as well as sample corporate forms and clauses (e.g., board resolutions, proxy proposals, sample SEC filings).
