Marc Lane's book on best corporate governance practices, "Representing Corporate Officers and Directors," was first published in 1987.[1][2] He revisited his treatise on corporate governance in 2005.[3][4] The new version is updated annually with the most recent supplement for the year 2010.[5][6] With the goal of promoting positive social change, Lane provides companies and their directors, officers, auditors and shareholders with insights for the compliance of new legislation, rules and responsibilities in response to the avalanche of corporate accounting scandals.[7][8]
