description: I found Google's SEC registration for their IPO to be surprisingly readable. It provides a refreshing perspective on how corporate governance should function, prioritizing transparency and long-term vision over standard corporate boilerplate.

[Google IPO](http://news-content.search.com.com/search?nodeid=1024). Their [SEC registration](http://dw.com.com/redir?destUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fi.i.com.com%2Fcnwk.1d%2Fpdf%2Fne%2F2004%2Fgoogle.pdf&siteId=3&oId=2100-1024-5202103&ontId=1023&lop=nl_ex) is very readable -- and gives a perspective on how corporate governance **should** be.
