Corporate Governance & Board Responsibilities

With the enactment of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and other corporate developments, corporate governance and the role of the board of directors have become an essential part of a well-run financial institution.

For non-public community banks, the corporate governance concepts embedded in the listing requirements of the national securities exchanges and the federal securities laws and regulations are frequently applied informally by bank examiners. Sound corporate governance principles can help a financial institution become a stronger institution. We share our considerable expertise in corporate governance principles and systems in assisting our clients to seek "best practices" for their institution.
