Strengthening Oversight of M&A: Executive Summary
In response to continued M&A activity, the National Association of Corporate Directors has prepared a guide to board oversight of mergers and acquisitions. The handbook describes the current M&A climate and suggests questions to ask and resources to deploy at every step in the M&A transaction process, from strategy to post-merger integration, according to Steve Kalan, NACD director of business development.
The full publication is available exclusively to NACD members, but a complimentary executive summary is available to everyone for downloading.
“With merger and acquisition activity continuing to shift the business landscape, directors can benefit from learning the size and scope of this trend and how it relates to their board responsibilities,” NACD says on its website. “Director Essentials: Strengthening Oversight of M&A summarizes current M&A trends and guides directors in considering M&A as a strategic option. It will help directors fulfill their roles throughout the M&A process, from strategy to integration. Aimed primarily at public company directors, this report is also useful for fiduciaries of nonprofits and privately owned companies.”
