What legal factors contributed to the massive corporate failures that we have seen in the financial system over the past five years? What is or should be your role in identifying corporate vulnerabilities? How do you
ensure a chain of command? What checks and balances ensure that those with compliance expertise effectively influence those at all levels of the organization to act in the long-term interests of the organization, its shareholders and its customers? When is there an actionable duty to "do the right thing" rather than an alternate course which may be perfectly legal in a strict sense (and more lucrative for shareholders)?
