Economic and financial upheavals have always brought to the fore accounting scandals, managerial compensation excesses, and audit failures, all triggering legal and regulatory actions -- and the current crisis is no exception. In addition, a new pro-regulation congress will likely change the anti-litigation and enforcement environment of recent years. This Ross Roundtable, hosted by the New York University Stern School of Business in cooperation with NERA on 23 February 2009, brought together a panel of experts from a range of perspectives to examine in-depth the implications of the current economic crisis for shareholder litigation and regulatory enforcement.  NERA Vice President Dr. Stephanie Plancich  presented as part of the program.
