The Directors Roundtable Invites You to Attend a Program
For Boards of Directors and Their AdvisorsKEY ISSUES FACING BOARDS OF DIRECTORS:
GLOBAL SECURITIES ENFORCEMENT & LITIGATION Friday, October 02, 2009
8:30 – 11:00 A.M. (8:00 Registration)
The Harvard Club, 35 W. 44th Street, New York
There is no fee to attend and continental breakfast will be served.
2.5 hours of New York CLE will be provided. The Administration has announced stronger securities enforcement policies and investors are pursuing large class actions. In addition to these domestic impacts, the international reach of regulators and courts has reached unprecedented levels. Increasingly, overseas companies appear as plaintiffs in US-based securities class actions and other suits. A US-based company could become the subject of an investigation abroad that could lead to US investigations and related class action litigation. Companies need to be prepared to manage the domestic and global risks that arise.
Key issues include:
(1) what current SEC and DOJ priorities are most important to Directors and investors;
(2) how many types of investigations launched outside the US can lead to SEC/DOJ investigations and US class action litigation against both US and non-US companies;
(3) how investigations and class action litigation in the US can lead to securities enforcement and investigations abroad and what non-US securities enforcement can look like;
(4) what kinds of companies are exposed to these types of risks and how to manage the risks;
(5) how changing American and global accounting standards may affect US companies;
(6) impact of increasing enforcement of the FCPA by DOJ and SEC.
