Abstract:

This paper discusses the ways and means employed by Director and Officer Liability Insurance underwriters in the assessment of the financial statements of public companies. The techniques described are offered for the instruction and edification of corporate directors, particularly audit committee members. Additionally, the paper offers a proposal for the ongoing dialogue of underwriters, risk managers and corporate directors for the end purpose of developing improved corporate risk management practices and procedures.International Journal of Disclosure and Governance (2006) 3, 107-114; doi:10.1057/palgrave.jdg.2040070
