Fundamentals for winning investor confidence include ensuring adequate corporate disclosure, guaranteeing investor rights, and ensuring sound board practices.

Using diverse case studies and tools for everything from establishing crafting committees to evaluating the efficacy of codes, this toolkit provides practical guidance on creating and revising codes to fit diverse and dynamic corporate environments.
