Survey Assesses Director Views on Political Disclosure
Submitted by: Valentina Judge, Social Issues Service

A survey of U.S. corporate directors commissioned by the Center for Political Accountability, the Washington, D.C., group that has advised a five-year shareholder campaign for better disclosure and governance of corporate political contributions, finds evidence that its message is taking root in corporate boardrooms.

The survey, conducted by Mason-Dixon Polling & Research, showed corporate political giving to be a significant issue for directors, a strong majority of whom also support disclosure. However, the survey also indicated that directors possess considerably less knowledge about campaign finance rules and their own companies’ policies and activities than they say.
