“The Changing Roles and Responsibilities of Company Boards and Directors”
After completing the most-in depth survey conducted in Australia on corporate governance, the UTS Centre for Corporate Governance in conjunction with Dibbs Abbott Stillman Lawyers are delighted to announce the findings of their research project into the Changing Roles and Responsibilities of Company Boards and Directors.
UTSpeaks: In the Shadows of Enron - Has Australian Business Learned from the Greatest Corporate Failure of all Time?
The aftermath of even the greatest calamity eventually fades, but is big business already forgetting the $8 trillion price tag of Enron's corporate failure? Is fatigue growing in the diligence of corporate governance regulation in Australian business? In a rapidly globalising economy what are the governance implications of acquisitive hedge funds and private equity? This free public lecture revisits the complex of errors made by financial and corporate gatekeepers accountants, lawyers, auditors, analysts, financial journalists and regulators that led to the Enron crisis. It also considers "where to from here" for the management of Australian corporations.
