Corporate Governance for Banks and Bank Holding Companies

Recent disruptions in the banking industry, the current interest rate environment, and inflation persisting in the United States make sound corporate governance practices more important now than ever before. 

Bank regulators and shareholders expect boards of directors of financial institutions to continue actively overseeing and monitoring the business. Boards also need to act quickly to make important decisions in real-time, particularly in times of stress and uncertainty.

Review industry best practices in financial institution articles and bylaws, discuss common faults in governing documents, highlight important changes to enhance the ability to meet and act quickly, and gain an overview of corporate governance structures to help defend against a hostile takeover attempt.
