| |
| In light of recent events in the financial markets, employers are exploring the use of "clawbacks" to recover bonus compensation payable to employees.

There are special legal issues that may arise in drafting, negotiating and enforcing such clawbacks that employers need to be aware of to ensure compliance. |

Board Basics for Non-Profits
| |
| For most non-profit boards, governance remains simply a series of routines such as overseeing budgets, receiving audits, hearing reports, approving strategic plans, and so on. This is the traditional thinking that guides most non-profit boards. If boards are to be successful this approach must change. The board is where corporate policy is made, where project priorities and goals are set, where capital (yes, nonprofits have capital) is allocated and where the values of the organization and the community it serves are exemplified. |

The Changing Role of Board Involvement in Corporate Strategy
| |
| Up until the early-2000‘s, corporate boards might have rubber-stamped their approval of the CEOs strategic plan without the need for much involvement in its formulation. They were largely content with rewarding profitability or handing out consequences for losses - all based on the rear-view mirror perspective of financial performance. In the United States, that changed with the arrival of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, which required board members to pay far more attention than before to the goings on within their organizations. At that point, the stakes were raised in regard to board responsibly for managing the CEOs job performance, overseeing financial reporting and supervising risk management. Their legal liability to shareholders increased significantly. |
