Corporate Governance DNA - a Primer for Corporate Directors is a book of practical advice and guidance for directors and boards of corporations. While the rules and regulations outline director obligations, they do not address the infinite variety of situations facing corporations as they evolve. The foundation of a director's legal obligations rests on their duty of care, their fiduciary duty, and their obligation to ensure that the corporation managed for its purpose. In addition to these obligations, boards are now involved with strategy, risk monitoring, as well as performance oversight, ESG reporting, cyber security, and the oversight of culture. This book offers ways to prepare for the important conversations and decisions each director must participate in. The authors offer practical suggestions to help new and experienced directors of public, not for profit and private corporations engage in these ever-expanding obligations. The book is strewn with case studies, examples, practices, and lists of questions to encourage thought and debate. It is styled as a primer for individual directors, board committees and the full board in the pursuit of best practices in corporate governance.
