Author Description

The controversial new attorney reporting rules recently adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission, as mandated by Sarbanes-Oxley Act Section 307, are explained in this concise new reference. Reporting Duties of Corporate Attorneys: SEC Rules and Explanation walks you through each reporting requirement, including investigating, evaluating, documenting and reporting evidence of a material violation. The book also explains the qualified legal compliance committee (QLCC), an optional new form of board committee that companies may establish to receive and address reports of wrong-doing. The clear, comprehensive guidance helps securities attorneys, corporate counsel and even corporate officers comply with the new up-the-ladder reporting duties and avoid SEC disciplinary action.
