In brief: With mergers and acquisitions (M&A) activity remaining at historic levels, M&A continues to be a valid option for corporate growth—but is it always advisable? This new edition of Director Essentials: Strengthening Oversight of M&A gives directors the tools they need to weigh and manage the risks and rewards of M&A, to make the right decisions regarding specific transactions, and to strengthen their oversight of implementation. This updated report includes a summary of M&A trends and guides boards in fulfilling their role throughout the M&A process—from strategy to post-merger integration.
