Description: Dan Bavly takes a fresh look at how business is supervised and how that system can be improved.

Drawing on his years of company board and auditing experience, Bavly analyzes why the average director cannot do his job, and he shows how a complete, but feasible, overhaul of the way company boards function can help solve this problem. Bavly then goes on to explore, as an insider, the profession of accounting and to show why the CPA should be considered an endangered species. For each specific flaw in the system, Bavly provides a practical remedy.

The general message is the need for constant reassessment and, perhaps, a plea to cut all the agencies of corporate governance back to human proportions.
