4th Annual
Corporate Governance Conference:
Has the Pendulum Swung Back?
Corporate governance is at a crossroads. While many reforms are
progressing, a number of the changes implemented after the market crash
are being rolled back. Is the pendulum reversing against further reform?
With talk of curtailing Sarbanes-Oxley 404 reforms and increased
scrutiny of the activities of aggressive activist hedge funds, are the
proper mechanisms in place to ensure that management acts in the
interest of shareholders? Will the momentum behind majority voting,
executive compensation, and disclosure reform continue, or will
“governance fatigue” set in? How has the high level of
private equity activity affected the governance responsibilities of
corporate directors? Join top academics, lawmakers, and investors as
they explore the trends underlying this backward momentum and
what they mean to investors.
