Strong corporate governance is more than a compliance exercise — it is the foundation of sustainable leadership, investor trust, and organizational resilience. What happens when ethics and compliance oversight breaks down - or worse - fails completely?
This webinar will feature an FBI-informant for an insider trading investigation discussing a real-world case study involving financial misconduct, compliance breakdowns, whistleblower activity, insider trading investigations, and fraud schemes. We will explore the difficult decisions board directors face when balancing growth, risk, transparency, and executive influence. This session will help board directors better understand how oversight failures develop, how warning signs are missed, and how boards can respond effectively when ethical or legal concerns emerge inside an organization.
