This article suggests that statutes governing both corporations and limited liability companies should require all owners to read several warnings about the dangers of a lack of advance planning before starting a business, or before purchasing an equity interest in an existing closely held business.

Lean Six Sigma (LSS) is applied in financial service organizations to improve operational efficiency and effectiveness. LSS prescribes that these improvements are designed and implemented by projects. The purpose of this article is to facilitate the process of defining ISS projects in finance, because the lack of a clear definition is an important cause of project failure, The authors' strategy is to provide seven standard project definitions (generic templates).

In this article, the authors will discuss these seven generic categories and show bow this simple categ...

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (``Commission'' or ``CFTC'') is proposing to adopt new regulations and amend existing regulations to require enhanced customer protections, risk management programs, internal monitoring and controls, capital and liquidity standards, customer disclosures, and auditing and examination programs for futures commission merchants (``FCMs''). The proposal also addresses certain related issues concerning derivatives clearing organizations (``DCOs'') and chief compliance officers (``CCOs''). The proposed rules will afford greater assurances to market participants that: customer segregated funds and secured amounts are protected; customers are provided with appropriate notice of the risks of futures trading and of the FCMs with which they may choose to do ...
