clarity of expression."

"While external auditors and accountants can provide
in-depth material and knowledge, no conscientious board should be without
a comprehensive primer. The Directors' Handbook fits that need well.
It is a vastly educating, and at times amusing, book that lends practical
knowledge to a complex topic."
