Corporate Accountability 2009

A Year-End Review & Outlook : London & Amsterdam Conference Report

This year’s Corporate Accountability conference held in both London and Amsterdam could hardly have been more timely and relevant: a conference of its time and for its time. Regulation and governance – a subject that was rarely given excessive attention by news editors – is now headline news around the world: from the controversies and debate relating to executive compensation through to the introduction of the Bribery Bill in the UK – the standards, behaviour and governance relating to how businesses conduct themselves around the world are at centre stage. And the penalties for getting it wrong have never been higher.
