RAND convened a symposium on the perspective and role of corporate boards of directors in overseeing their firms' ethics and compliance matters. These conference proceedings summarize the event and the discussions, which focused on oversight challenges that directors face, board responsibility for corporate culture, and steps that business leaders and policymakers might take to better encourage and empower directors in their oversight role.

"After a brief review of first-order differential equations, this book focuses on second-order equations with constant coefficients that derive their general solution using only results described previously. Higher-order equations are provided since the patterns are more readily grasped by students. Stability and fourth order equations are also discussed since these topics typically appear in further study for engineering and science majors. In addition to applications to engineering systems, applications from the biological and life sciences are emphasized. Ecology and population dynamics are featured since they involve both linear and nonlinear equations, and these topics form one application thread that weaves through the chapters. Diffusion of material, heat, and mechanical and electrical oscillators are also important in biological and engineering systems and are discussed throughout. A complete Instructor Solution Manual is available upon request and contains solutions to all exercises as well as Maple[trademark symbol] code. While the book is not dependent on the use of one specific software, some of the exercises do call on the use of such systems to solve certain differential equations or to plot the results. A Student Solutions Manual is available to supplement the book, and while the first manual will feature Maple, the author is also preparing versions using Mathematica and MATLAB;to accommodate instructor preferences. Chapter coverage includes First-Order Differential Equations; Higher-Order Linear Equations; Applications of Higher-Order Linear Equations; Systems of Linear Differential Equations; Laplace Transform; Series Solution; Systems of Nonlinear Differential Equations; and Appendices on Partial Fraction Expansions, Determinants, Gauss Elimination, and Complex Numbers and the Complex Plane"--

"The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, signed into law in July 2010, includes a new mechanism for offering financial awards to internal corporate "whistleblowers" who report instances of fraud to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Final whistleblower rules enacted by the SEC under the statute have been controversial, particularly in neglecting to require that corporate insiders make use internal corporate reporting channels as a prerequisite to eligibility for any subsequent bounty under Dodd-Frank. On May 11, 2011, RAND convened thought leaders and stakeholders from the government, industry, academic, and nonprofit sectors to discuss the potential impact of the Dodd-Frank whistleblower rules on corporations, the importance of internal compliance and reporting processes both for corporations and the regulatory community, and steps that might be taken to strengthen internal compliance and reporting in the era of Dodd-Frank. These proceedings summarize key issues and topics from the symposium and identify major points of agreement and disagreement among the participants. The proceedings also feature three invited papers presented at the symposium."--Publisher's website
