Dodd-Frank Act's Corporate Governance and Executive Compensation Provisions Will Impact Public Companies' Disclosures and Practices
July 22, 2010
Yesterday, President Obama signed into law the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the "Act"), which not only significantly restructures federal regulation of financial institutions, but also creates new corporate governance and executive compensation requirements for public companies generally. A number of these provisions will impact proxy statement disclosures starting in 2011 and the new provisions will also affect public companies’ executive compensation and corporate governance policies and practices.
