Corporate Governance Post–Sarbanes–Oxley: Regulations, Requirements, and Integrated Processes

Praise for Corporate Governance Post–Sarbanes–Oxley
"This is an intelligent and well–organized text to governance issues raised in the post–Sarbanes–Oxley era. It is informative and easily approachable and will be of value to both the academic and professional community."
—Charles Elson, Director of the Weinberg Center for Corporate Governance at the University of Delaware
"Conflicts of interests and weak internal controls have surfaced as a continuing theme in recent corporate scandals where the independence of auditors and other gatekeepers was either completely lacking or significantly compromised. Dr. Rezaee′s book makes a meaningful contribution that will assist the investing public in developing a better understanding of the importance of corporate governance, both now and in the future."
—Cynthia L. Richson, President, Richson Consulting Group, LLC, and former director of Corporate Governance and attorney for the State of Wisconsin Investment Board
"Corporate Governance Post–Sarbanes–Oxley offers one of the most comprehensive examinations available. Dr. Rezaee achieves an in–depth, thorough review of today′s corporate governance landscape and provides a sound perspective for the reader. His systematic description offers a practical guide for any investor interested in the role of governance within the capital markets. An excellent book."
—Michael McCauley, Director of Corporate Governance, Florida State Board of Administration (SBA)
