Hosted By: Institutional Investor
This event, hosted by Institutional Investor on 9-11 September in Washington, DC, examined major business drivers, strategic responses, and financial and cost priorities for US firms in the coming year, including new risks, opportunities, and the exogenous factors that will impact the ability to compete in domestic and global markets. The program also explored the changing role of senior financial executives within their corporations. As part of the program, NERA Senior Consultant Dr. Ron Miller and Marsh Inc. Managing Director Eugene "Tripp" Sheehan led a workshop entitled "An Update on Trends in Directors and Officers Liability." The session addressed the latest risks facing corporate directors and officers, including rising average settlement values and new challenges stemming from options backdating and the subprime lending crisis, as well as approaches to mitigating these risks. Dr. Miller discussed findings from NERA's upcoming midyear report on recent trends in shareholder class action litigation. Other participants in the event included former Secretary of State Dr. Madeleine Albright, who presented on the new realities of risk; George Tenet, former director of the Central Intelligence Agency; and John W. White, Director of the Division of Corporation Finance at the US Securities and Exchange Commission, who presented on the SEC's current agenda.
