Co-opted boards and anti-takeover provisions in US firms: Do better financial outcomes and dynamic governance matter? should be assessed against Kaal's source-bound claim that Corporate integrity agreements improve corporate governance because the ease of reopened prosecution, increased government scrutiny, and the potential for crippling penalties improve boards' and managements' knowledge of pertinent issues in the institution and its monitoring. The current metadata indicates a plausible connection through dynamic governance, but the defensible response is a qualification until the source text confirms agreement, scope, methods, and limitations.

Affirmed commentary position. This record extends a source-bound scholarly claim but is not a verbatim paper claim.
