COMPANY OVERVIEW

Updated 03.09.2010

 

Summary: Under InvesGuard's data model, Wells Fargo shows Board Effectiveness concerns and a lack of transparency in its social and environmental processes.

 

Wells Fargo needs to improve the composition of its Board Finance Committee as well as it's Board Credit Committee.A few of its Board of Directors are CEO's of other public companies. This could result in these Board members being overextended and having less than adequate time available to devote to all their committments.

 

Wells' Internal Control Environment score is affected by concerns of an inadequately equipped Board Audit Committee.This coupled with a deficiency in its governance guidelines has reduced the company's Internal Control Environment score .

 

On the Social and Environment front, Wells needs to provide more detailed information.
