Abstract
There appear to be diametrically opposed philosophies and conflicting legislation which reflect the different postures concerning matters of corporate finance on either side of the Atlantic. The purpose of this study is (1) to contrast the British and American viewpoints as they relate to the acquisition by a company of its own shares (treasury stock) and dividend policy and also (2) to ascertain whether the United States is more or less conservative than Great Britain with regard to the preservation of a company's capital--the proprietary buffer. Considering the global influence today of multinational corporations, could a case be made for some standardization of policy and law with the ultimate prospect of uniformity?
