How has the definition of corporate gatekeeper, and its attendant
obligations and responsibilities, evolved in recent years? Headlines and events
in this Dodd-Frank world focus on risk of heightened expectations,
whistleblowers, personal liability, and civil and criminal penalties, not to
mention ethical dilemmas. What is the gatekeeper role of Corporate Counsel,
Audit Committee Member, Ethics and Compliance Officers, Internal and External
Auditors, C-Suite and others? We will discuss the impact of recent actions by
the SEC and other regulatory bodies against gatekeepers. What are the
responsibilities and opportunities of serving as a gatekeeper?
Hear from a panel with experience
in the regulatory, legal, compliance, and ethical aspects of advising gatekeepers
on the complex facets of risk scenarios, as well as the benefits and
opportunities of the roles. Learn and share how gatekeepers of major
corporations maximize the benefits while mitigating the risk. The discussion
will include examples of where others went wrong, and what others are doing to
proactively and successfully fulfill the role as gatekeeper with the companies
for whom they put their credibility on the line.
