Telecommunications Development Fund (TDF) of Washington DC offers a basic online class aimed at new chief executives who need advice on such things as setting up a board of directors, an audit committee and getting risk insurance for directors and officers . This is far from a comprehensive site and it certainly doesn't stretch the boundries of reform in what it recommends but it offers time-tested advice and is a welcome addition and will facilitate better corporate governance, especially in new firms...and it's free.
