June Topics

Session One - Health Care Reform: What You Need To Do Now (Business Management & Organization)

The new blueprint for U.S. health care promises to redefine medical coverage for millions of Americans. But what changes will it make - and what opportunities does it present - for Corporate America? Towers Watson's Ron Fontanetta and Mike Langan detail the questions that you need to be ask, and the strategies that you should consider, to be successful in the aftermath of this massive health care reform.

Session Two - Proxy Disclosure Enhancements:  Preparing for the New Rules  (Accounting)

The rules on financial reporting seem to be changing at an ever-increasing pace, complicated by the FASB's convergence of U.S. GAAP with IFRS. In this segment, Professor Ray Stephens outlines the implications of decisions that companies must soon make regarding the adoption of new accounting rules on revenue recognition and business combinations.

Session Three - Fraud: The Consequences of Inattention to Ethics (Behavioral Ethics)

It is a story that is, unfortunately, all too common: the downfall of a young adult who seemingly "had it all," including a significant income from his career as an investment executive. In an exclusive interview, ex-con Justin Paperny reveals how a financial crime - and an inattention to ethics - led him to prison and to ruin what should have been a sterling reputation.

Session Four - Avoiding Liability: FLSA Traps for the Unwary (Business Law) 

Because the wage-and-hour laws are very confusing, it has become an expensive headache for businesses when agencies and courts determine that employees are entitled to overtime pay. Employment attorney Pamela Moore, of McCarter & English LLP, explains what you should do now to protect your company from the onslaught of government regulation and class action litigation in this area.
