Conference: Corporate governance reforms to be examined


Over the past five years, corporate governance has undergone historic changes.
In addition to new policies enacted by state judiciaries and attorneys general, Congress adopted the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission enacted important securities law reforms, and the New York Stock Exchange and NASDAQ reformed listing standards.

The world's leading experts on corporate governance will come to the University for a conference Sept. 29-Oct. 1 to discuss the impact of these changes.

"The 'New' Corporate Governance: How are Reforms Working?" — presented by the Center for Interdisciplinary Studies (CIS) and co-sponsored by the Whitney R. Harris Institute for Global Legal Studies at the School of Law — will feature panel discussions among media, SEC members, business leaders, academics and attorneys.
