Directors of corporate boards are typically selected through a nomination process, which often involves a committee comprised of existing board members. This committee evaluates potential candidates based on their skills, experience, and alignment with the company's goals. Shareholders may also have a say in the selection process during annual meetings, where they vote to approve or reject nominated candidates. Ultimately, the chosen directors are expected to oversee the company's management and ensure accountability to shareholders.

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 significantly impacts boards of directors by imposing stricter regulations on corporate governance and financial reporting. It mandates that boards establish independent audit committees, enhancing oversight of financial practices and ensuring accountability. Additionally, it requires board members to certify the accuracy of financial statements, which increases their responsibility and liability in the event of corporate fraud or mismanagement. Overall, the act aims to improve transparency and restore investor confidence in the wake of corporate scandals.
