In the latest round of financial scandals, researchers estimate that shareholders of the 110 companies involved in options backdating suffered stock price declines ranging between 20 and 50 percent.* The total dollar losses associated with these declines amount to $100 to $250 billion.
*
In what context should financial decision-makers view such corporate malfeasance and its implications?
*
Prof. John Boatright, the keynote speaker of the meeting, will discuss the responsibility of intermediaries, such as accountants, lawyers, and bankers, to act as gatekeepers in preventing misconduct.
*
Mr. Timur Gök, Regional Director of PRMIA Chicago, will draw some lessons from research that has explored and quantified the link between corporate governance and corporate value creation and destruction.
*
The moderator for the meeting will be Ms. Melissa Van Hees, CFA, Director – Risk Management at BRI Partners.
