LEGL 126 - Introduction to Compliance and Corporate Governance in a Global EnvironmentSemester Hours: 3
This course introduces the fundamental elements of corporate compliance and governance in the global environment. Going beyond legal and regulatory requirements, the course focuses on fundamental elements of compliance in contemporary business situations, including financial issues (Dodd-Frank, Volcker rule), internal management (sexual harassment), sustainability and international concerns (Foreign Corrupt Practices Act) so that the student gets a broad understanding of compliance as a multifaceted area that allows corporations to operate in a socially responsible manner (i.e., CSR). The course is also designed to introduce students to the different participants in corporate governance, including shareholders, directors, officers and outside professionals. Students will learn the role of each participant in corporate governance, the duties of each participant in corporate governance and any personal liability incurred as a result of a participant’s failure to perform duties sufficiently.
