In this 11-minute podcast, Ning Chiu of Davis Polk does a great job of boiling down the corporate governance and executive compensation provisions that apply to all US public listed companies in the recently passed Senate reform bill, the “Restoring American Financial Stability Act of 2010.”

Not only does Ning compare the differences between the Senate and House bills, but she identifies which provisions aren’t all that clear – and she notes which provisions are more likely to sail through and which may be altered before Congress reconciles the two bills. Finally, Ning notes the practical consequences for companies of these provisions.
