Agenda

C-Suites and Directors are dealing with calls for individual accountability, limited compliance resources, recently enacted legislation, and proposed rulemaking.  A new administration supportive of more aggressive enforcement has added more stress.

SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce will participate in a Q&A session to discuss issues important to Business leaders and the Bar regarding corporate and personal compliance duties and liability.  Following the Q&A, Distinguished Panelists will explore further some of the issues raised such as:

• Preventing misconduct before it occurs.
• Ensuring sufficient resources and a culture of compliance.
• The role of risk management in translating legal advice into compliance policies and operations.
• Regulatory and law enforcement treatment of the company and its leadership.
• Who should be held responsible for failure?
• Best practices for Board compliance oversight.

The audience can submit questions for SEC Commissioner Peirce when they register online by typing them in the area under their contact information or in an email to Karen Todd at karen.f.todd@gmail.com
