Corporate Governance

Corporate Governance Audit

This service is imperative for all pre-IPO clients who want to assure that they are attractive to research analysts, investment bankers and investors because strong corporate governance equates with less risk and stronger performance.

Public companies can also benefit from this service as a proactive means of addressing corporate governance weaknesses. Activists often target corporate governance issues as a means to bolster support for their primary arguments. Companies can reduce the impact of these arguments by utilizing this service.

Activities:

• Identify and categorize the positive and negative aspects of the company’s structure in the key areas of the board, equity compensation, share ownership, charter/by-laws, and anti-takeover provisions
• Based on findings, make recommendations for improving on areas of potential concern
• Summarize recommendations based upon the severity of the concern, from a general corporate governance perspective, as well as by potential targeting by shareholder activists
• Work with senior management and the board to create a strategic plan for the adoption of new provisions and structures with a focus on maintaining the clients goals and needs
