Corporate officers and directors, facing unprecedented public and legal scrutiny, need clear guidance now more than ever. CCH has the solution: the 2005-2006 edition of Responsibilities of Corporate Officers and Directors under Federal Securities Law. This important resource alerts board members and management to their personal duties and liabilities under the federal securities laws. From the vast body of federal laws, SEC rules, and court decisions concerning securities offerings and transactions, those of particular interest to corporate officers and directors as individuals are discussed here.

The 2005-2006 edition includes expanded discussion of corporate governance, including the impact of NYSE and Nasdaq listing standards. It also examines recent reforms to mutual fund governance, i.e., board independence requirements. Other new coverage includes revised treatment of the business judgment rule, discussion of the SEC's securities offering reforms, and recent litigation and enforcement activity.
