Featuring issues related to audit committees, board governance, and compensation committees, the site is designed as an online resource that provides timely and relevant thought-ware as well as other information, including a list of Deloitte webcasts, podcasts and events focused on governance issues. Monthly postings on relevant topics, discussions regarding governance issues and data on board practices and composition are also available.

"The Web site provides a ‘one-stop shop’ for boards and committee members to find governance thought-ware which includes perspectives from various experts on the latest governance topics and best practices as well as tools and resources to assist them in fulfilling their responsibilities as board members."

The site leverages the success of the Audit Committee Online Web site, which Corporate Board Member magazine recognized as one of "20 web sites every director should bookmark,"and the activities of the Center for Corporate Governance, making it a robust governance resource for directors, C-suite executives and others who support the governance function.

Richter, Vice Chairman, Office of the CEO, Deloitte & Touche USA LLP.
