CFO Liability - the Toughest Job in Corporate America

This webcast provides guidance for CFOs who face heightened scrutiny and liability as a result of the culmination of legislated rules and regulations, including Sarbanes-Oxley and Dodd-Frank. Newly enacted provisions provide for significant enhancement of SEC enforcement powers, coupled with heightened standards of liability for financial executives. In addition, the webcast highlights cases in which CFOs and other financial executives have been sanctioned for violations committed by their subordinates under a "should have known" standard. Finally, this webinar offers practical recommendations to assist CFOs in compliance with the increasingly complex regulations and requirements to which they are subjected. The speakers will include John J. Carney, co-leader of Baker Hostetler LLP's White-Collar and Corporate Investigations Group, Mark Gerber, PwC Partner, and Craig Carpenito, head of Alston & Bird's White-Collar Group. The intended audience is current CFOs, legal counsel for CFOs, and accountants working with CFOs.
