Assignment :The Corporate Rundown : Verizon
• Use technology and information resources to research issues in advanced financial management.
Introduction: • At the risk of repeating ourselves, let’s let Mr. Charlie Munger, co-chairman of Berkshire Hathaway, say his piece on the power of financial incentives once more: “Never, ever think about something else when you should be thinking about the power of incentives.” Of course, we agree, and we want you to learn how to evaluate financial incentives that you’ll discover in the corporate world. We also want you to be able to assess relatively strong and weak corporate governance systems. That’s the crux of this final assignment.
• First, what we’d like you to do is to identify a public company (preferably one that you’re familiar with from prior assignments). Then, we’d like you to examine and analyze its governance principles, structures, and practices.
• We firmly believe that the effective financial decision-maker will understand the power that governance and strong systems have over financial performance, and thus it’s important to train ourselves to be acutely aware of these issues.
Here’s how we recommend approaching the assignment: o Head to edgar.sec.gov to access your company’s financial statements (or any site where you feel comfortable accesses your company’s financial statements, including the company’s own homepage).

Show board layout in a graph.
2. Evaluate the board’s philosophy on executive compensation.
3. Discuss the metrics tied to the CEO’s inventive compensation. Are they sound metrics or not?
