Produced by the American Bar Association's Committee on Corporate Laws--a group composed of active and former practicing lawyers, law professors, regulators, and judges--the latest edition of their Guidebook provides concise guidance to corporate directors in meeting their responsibilities. Where the 2004 fourth edition focused on changes caused or influenced by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the fifth edition assumes these as a baseline and urges boards of directors to focus on business performance. A key theme is the increasingly important role for directors of protecting investors' interests and directing or overseeing corporate strategy. For directors and business executives, those who advise them, and students of corporate governance. No subject index. Annotation ©2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
