Scrutiny of Public Company Executives - Is It Still Needed?
Eighty page personal history disclosure forms, copies of five years of checking account statements, the title to the family minivan -- these items and scores of other documents are produced time and time again by gaming executives from public companies every time they apply for a gaming license and frequently when they renew one. Is this level of detailed scrutiny still needed in a mature industry populated by public companies? What is the impact of such scrutiny in attracting and retaining qualified, independent directors for boards of public companies? This panel will explore these and other issues from the industry, law enforcement and regulatory perspectives.
