These new rules, established under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and enforced by the Securities and Exchange Commission, require both in-house and outside lawyers who see evidence of any ‘material’ wrong-doing in businesses to report it up the corporate ladder. This rule is causing quite a stir in the executive ranks, where all business-related discussions between corporate executives and corporate counsel were previously considered protected under the attorney-client privilege.

Gerrard in the spotlight
Today is the day that Fabio Capello puts Steven Gerrard in his place in more ways, it would seem, than one. The England manager revealed yesterday that the role in which Gerrard will play against Kazakhstan is the role in which he believes the player is best-suited for in the long term, but Capello was also insistent that it will be the manager – and not Gerrard – who dictates what that role is.
It was meant to be just another England training session. Then Theo Walcott picked up the ball on the right wing…
He received the pass on the right, taking a precise touch to help the ball run across his body. The first defender sought to show him down the line, where there was cover, and he dropped a shoulder as if to follow, but then Theo Walcott twisted and came inside. He weaved past Jimmy Bullard and David Bentley but looked to be drifting too far across the midfield when he suddenly turned, spun and darted through a gap for goal. Paul Robinson came out to narrow the angle but Walcott drove the ball past him.
James Lawton: Capello’s revelatory flash of wisdom lights way for Lampard and Gerrard
Can it really be true that sometime in late afternoon or early evening the light currently being shed on the affairs of England’s national football team by Fabio Capello will come finally to bathe the confusion that grips Frank Lampard and Steven Gerrard whenever they perform on the same side?
Capello out to banish home fears
It certainly – post-Croatia – feels like it and, yesterday, Fabio Capello articulated it. “We hope to start a new era,” the England manager said ahead of this afternoon’s World Cup qualifier at home to Kazakhstan and although he has been forthright in expressing to the players that they have to forget about the events in Zagreb last month, beyond the collection of three points, it is clear that the Italian himself has greater bounce in his step these days.
Bilic fears Spurs’ bad form will hinder Croatia’s key men
The Croatia coach, Slaven Bilic, fears that the crisis at Tottenham could undermine his country’s bid to qualify for the 2010 World Cup. Luka Modric is Bilic’s key player but the £16.5m signing from Dynamo Zagreb has so far struggled to make an impact at White Hart Lane.
Dubai-based group make £50m Charlton bid
Charlton Athletic are set to be taken over by a Dubai-based investment group which is believed to be owned by the ruling Maktoum family. The deal is worth around £50m with Zabeel Investments, whose interests range from luxury hotels to construction and the media, promising to provide the funding to return the Championship club to the top-flight.
Morrison in line to pep up Scotland
Age Hareide, the Norway manager, said the other day: “The thing about Scotland is they still think they’re a great football nation.” The 55-year-old did not intend to belittle this afternoon’s opponents. He was saying Scotland retain a belief about themselves and that today’s World Cup qualifier in Glasgow will be no cakewalk.
