Workflow

Overview

CaseMark's Audit & Compensation Committee Charter skill drafts board-resolution-adopted governance charters that establish committee composition, independence standards, delegated powers, meeting protocols, and reporting obligations. It automatically adapts to public or private governance regimes, ensuring compliance with SEC, SOX, and exchange listing requirements while streamlining what traditionally takes days of attorney drafting into a single AI-powered workflow.

Drafting Audit and Compensation Committee charters requires navigating a complex web of federal securities law, state corporate statutes, exchange listing standards, and governance best practices. Attorneys spend hours cross-referencing SOX requirements, Rule 10A-3, and exchange-specific mandates while manually tailoring provisions for each company's unique structure—a process prone to gaps and inconsistencies.

CaseMark automates the entire charter drafting process by mapping the applicable regulatory regime, analyzing director qualifications, and generating comprehensive dual committee charters with embedded compliance checklists. The result is board-ready governance documentation that meets the highest standards for public or private companies, delivered in a fraction of the traditional drafting time.

How it works

1. Upload your corporate documents, company profile, and director roster
2. AI maps the applicable regulatory regime (SEC, SOX, exchange rules, or private governance)
3. Review and customize the generated dual committee charters with compliance annotations
4. Export board-ready charters in your preferred format (DOCX, PDF)

Questions

Can this handle both public and private company charters?

Yes. CaseMark automatically detects whether your company is publicly listed or privately held and adapts the charter to the correct regulatory regime—applying SEC, SOX, and exchange-specific requirements for public companies or streamlined governance standards for private entities.

Does the charter address SOX and Rule 10A-3 compliance?

Absolutely. CaseMark builds SOX Section 301, Rule 10A-3, and applicable exchange listing standards directly into the Audit Committee charter, including independence requirements, financial expert designations, and whistleblower procedures.

Can I generate just an Audit Committee or just a Compensation Committee charter?

Yes. While the skill is designed to produce both charters in a single workflow, you can focus on either committee individually based on the documents and context you provide to CaseMark.

Is this suitable for IPO governance readiness?

CaseMark's charter drafting is specifically designed to support IPO preparation. The output meets the governance standards expected by underwriters, exchange listing committees, and SEC reviewers, helping you get board-ready before going public.

How does CaseMark handle industry-specific regulatory overlays?

When you provide industry context—such as banking, healthcare, or energy—CaseMark layers sector-specific regulatory requirements onto the baseline charter, ensuring your committee governance addresses all applicable compliance obligations.

Can I update existing charters or only create new ones?

CaseMark supports both creation and refresh workflows. Upload your existing charters alongside current corporate documents, and the AI will identify gaps, outdated provisions, and compliance shortfalls to produce an updated version.
