About the Book

Voices of Governance: Why Oversight Is Important to All of Us By Karen Kane The global economic crisis demonstrated that the financial system is an essential part of the market economy, but it is based on a complex and fragile network of trust, administered by corporate boards, which are charged with exercising prudent oversight on behalf of shareholders. Transparent conduct and policies, reflected in effective communication, provide the proof that directors are acting in the shareholders' interests. There are many voices in the wide-ranging conversation about what broke down in the governance system and what needs to be fixed in order to restore confidence in market capitalism. In Voices of Governance: Why Oversight Is Important to All of Us, Karen Kane describes (documents? chronicles?) the important work of boards of directors in providing oversight to corporations. Told by global leaders in the field, Voices of Governance illuminates governance issues, board processes and how they need to be improved. It presents a unique and ultimately optimistic picture of where we are and where we are headed.
