With a weak economy and the Administration’s new policies, there are significant regulatory, enforcement, and litigation challenges that Directors must address. The Distinguished Speakers will discuss the domestic and international scope of financial reporting; how accountants are changing governance; private securities litigation; and SEC and Texas Attorney General enforcement. Topics will include what’s new at the SEC/Texas AG, what priorities are in focus for regulators, what investigation issues are kicking up to board members, and what litigation trends do Directors need to know. The Distinguished Speakers will analyze what companies and their Boards should do now to address these key issues.
