COMPANY OVERVIEW

Updated 04.13.2010

 


Summary: Bank of America has made certain improvements in its Board of Director composition especially its Board Audit Committee. This is reflected in datapoint scores that deal with availability and relevance of experience of the Board of Directors.

 

With changes to the Board composition, more directors with experience relevant to Bank of America's core business are onboard. In addition,the new directors appear to limit their other public company directorships thereby making themselves more available to fulfill their committments to BoFA.

 

Another significant change is the creation of a new Board level Enterprise Risk Committee. Unfortunately, not all the members of this committee appear to have relevant financial industry risk experience. Some committee members have served long careers in a non financial industry which could limit the level of expertise that they bring to the Board Enterprise Risk Committee at Bank of America.
