ltdaccess.com, inc. is a consulting firm focused on improving Corporate Governance (CG).

Forces Shaping the Evolution of CG

We believe that there are three primary forces shaping the evolution of CG today:

1) Changing legal and regulatory requirements.

2) Emerging best practices drawn from observed differences in CG policies and practices.

3) "Crash Test" learning occurring as firms change CG policies and practices in response to major CG lapses at other firms and individuals are held accountable for CG failures.

Potential Benefits from Excellence in CG

We also believe that early adopters of disciplined efforts designed to produce and sustain excellence in CG will derive significant competitive advantages over those competitors that lag in these efforts. Specifically, we believe that a company's commitment to and delivery of excellence in CG will:

- prove to be a long term competitive advantage for firms that will drive superior economic performance and command higher valuations from investors.

- help create a potential safe harbor for the company, directors and management.

Clearly, excellence in CG does not automatically guarantee either basic economic success or superior competitive performance. However, shareholders and investors will increasingly expect good CG just as they expect excellent safety procedures when they use a commercial airline or superior crash protection from their cars.

Our Commitment

Excellence in CG may require efforts and costs beyond those necessary to simply meet existing legal and regulatory standards. Our commitment is to identify the lowest cost, highest leverage opportunities to improve CG policies and practices, implement them successfully and ensure that CG policies and practices are continuously optimized to utilize the best available approaches.
