The Public Company Handbook: A Corporate Governance and Disclosure Guide for Directors and Executives - Sixth Edition

Our sixth edition of The Public Company Handbook: A Corporate Governance and Disclosure Guide for Directors and Executives, provides a "plain English" guide for directors, officers and other executives seeking to familiarize themselves with legal and other board and management issues facing public or soon-to-be-public companies. This guide incorporates changes to SEC, NYSE, NASDAQ and state law requirements and guidance, in addition to common governance practice, made over the last five years, when our previous edition was released.
