Report Link Corporate Governance is a Top Priority in 2009.Jackson Lewis LLP - December 08, 2008 Wall Street’s latest crisis has wreaked havoc on financial markets. The United States government has responded with emergency legislation seeking to stabilize faltering credit markets by providing for the “bailout” of failing financial institutions. This unprecedented intervention, as well as the potential infusion of taxpayer money in other sectors of the economy, has given the federal government a significant, but as yet not fully defined, degree of oversight of the internal operations of these organizations. Indeed, the government’s fiduciary role in using taxpayer funds in this way is evolving, but early signs confirm that 2009 will be marked by increased corporate governance, especially in regards to how these bailout funds are put to use by recipient organizations. These developments have already been marked by scrutiny of executive compensation practices and related issues.

In addition to fostering appropriate behavior, diversity, and efficiency in the workplace, these measures are vital to avoid or minimize liability in the event of a sexual harassment or discrimination lawsuit. Report Link Corporate Governance by the Numbers: It Doesn't Work.Knowledge@Wharton (Reg Required) - September 09, 2004 Formulas used by consultants and ratings services that assign single numbers or grades to a company's corporate governance practices don't work, suggest three Wharton professors in a new paper entitled, "Does Corporate Governance Really Matter?" Yes, it matters, the authors say, but what also matters is how performance is measured. Companies and their situations are too diverse to be shoehorned into simple scorecards. As one researcher notes, "The recipe book is big, and there's a different recipe for each company." Report Link How Effective Is Your Corporate Compliance and Ethics Program? (pdf)Buchanan Ingersoll & Rooney PC - June 23, 2004 The United States Sentencing Commission (the "Commission"), an independent agency in the judicial branch of the United States government, submitted to Congress on April 30, 2004 amendments to the Federal Sentencing Guidelines. The amendments will become effective on November 1, 2004, unless they are rejected by Congress, which is considered to be highly unlikely. Included among the amendments are policy statements that are material to corporate compliance programs. Report Link Why Smart People Do Unethical Things: What’s Behind Another Year of Corporate Scandals.Knowledge@Wharton (Reg Required) - December 29, 2003 You might think that with the passing of another year, the corporate scandals that have rocked American business would be showing signs of petering out.

Report Link Those Who Sit on Company Boards Face a New, Tougher Job Description.Knowledge@Wharton (Reg Required) - May 07, 2003 As more details begin to emerge in the scandal surrounding HealthSouth – the country’s largest provider of rehabilitative health care and outpatient surgery whose top executives stand accused of multi-billion dollar accounting fraud – the question again arises: Where were the board of directors and auditors during this time and why didn’t they know what was going on?
