"It is incumbent on all business owners and managers, and indeed all consumers, to understand the Dodd–Frank Act . . . . Who better to provide insights on Dodd–Frank than Sanjay Anand, who was among the first responders of consummate business leaders to explain the Sarbanes–Oxley Act. You have chosen wisely and I know you will greatly benefit from reading this book." From the Foreword by Michael P. Cangemi, CPA, former president of FEI

"This book is about as authoritative as a book can get on a moving target like the Dodd–Frank Act while still being written in plain English, so that all those impacted by the legislation can understand what has been enacted, and what is yet to come. It provides the necessary foundational steps in preparing for the regulations regardless of how it may be modified. It also connects the dots to related regulations SOX and Basel III. Kudos to Sanjay Anand for writing it and making his knowledge and expertise available to all." Anthony Tarantino, author of Essentials of Risk Management in Finance
