Do you need directors and officers insurance? To protect your assets, the answer may well be yes

Description

Abstract: In the current post-Sarbanes-Oxley business environment, investors expect greater transparency, and lawsuits are more common than ever.

But it’s important to determine exactly what a specific policy covers. A sidebar to this article explains why D&O insurance is important for nonprofit executives, as well.
