Leveraging the Board’s Ethical Oversight in the Post-Enron Corporation
Mark Rowe, Managing Partner of Hoffman Rowe, will discuss how a more rigorous regulatory framework and unprecedented public scrutiny following recent corporate scandals have presented many new challenges for boards of directors. These scandals have all come down to failures of governance in one way or another, posing challenges in oversight of management and in setting the ethical tone for corporations. This, in turn, creates opportunities for boards’ advisers, particularly in-house and external legal counsel. |
