Written by Sanjay Anand, one of the world's leading corporate
governance, risk management, and regulatory compliance experts,

professional obligations, with information easy to find and at your
fingertips. This professional guide's nuts-and-bolts presentation

your organization.

Essentials of Corporate Governance will challenge your concept of
corporate governance and provide you with an understanding
of:

* The concept of governance

* The competing goals that corporations may have

* Why there is a call for corporations to be more ethical

* The various forms of corporate structure

* Corporate governance in emerging markets

* Corporate governance within nonprofit organizations

Communicating the idea of corporate governance as a process and an
ideal rather than a set of criteria, this accessible and relevant
book is the resource and reference guide you will turn to time and
again for the knowledge you need to make corporate governance work
for your corporation.
