As a SCORE volunteer business coach I have to explain what is covered in this book from time to time. It's good for entrepreneurs to think in terms of internal accounting controls. This book is not written for entrepreneurs, though. It is ...             The Compensation Committee Handbook3 reviews James F. Reda, Stewart Reifler, ...

The protagonists fall in the canals, suffer from seasickness, and root around in ...             Handbook for Health Care Ethics Committees Linda Farber Post, Jeffrey Blustein, ...

It does what it claims to do. It was recommended by our auditors and we gave a copy to each member of our audit committee to help them get direction with a new responsibility. I do need to bring one point to the foreground. The editing on this book is terrible. There are many misspellings and quite a few ...             The Handbook for Investment Committee Members: How to Make Prudent Investments for Your Organization (Wiley ... Russell L.
