The Robert Zicklin Center for Corporate Integrity Presents:

Does Wall Street Value Corporate Governance?

Wednesday, February 1, 2006 from 5:00 - 7:00 p.m.
151 East 25th Street, Room 7-50


About This Conference:
Sarbanes-Oxley 2002 (SOX), coupled with changes in NYSE registration
requirements, have imposed stricter requirements for more independent
governance on publicly traded American companies. Hedge Funds trade on
improvements in corporate governance. Yet academics and journalists debate
the economic impact of governance.

Some of the questions this panel may address include:

What is good governance? Can there be too much governance?
Are there red flags for poor governance?
Is there a lower headline risk for better-governed firms?
Can badly governed firms do well in the short run? Long run?
Are boards still too dependent on management?
Do investors expect too much from boards?
