The prevailing view among securities regulation scholars is that compensating victims of secondary market securities fraud is inefficient. As the theory goes, diversified investors are as likely to be on the gaining side of a transaction tainted by fraud as the losing side. Therefore, such investors should have no expected net losses from fraud because their expected losses will be matched by expected gains. This Article argues that this view is flawed; even diversified investors can suffer substantial losses from fraud, presenting a compelling case for compensation. The interest in compensation, however, should be advanced by better means than are currently in place. The present system relies on securities class action lawsuits to compensate victims, but these suits not only undercompe...

NEW YORK, Nov. 2, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- According to a report released today by The Conference Board, the global business research and membership organization, most U.S. public companies believe that their top executive compensation programs do not pose the risk of a material adverse effect on the business.

THE WESTERN CORPORATE culture, with its emphasis on complying with rules, principles and laws, has been held up as a model of how companies should be run globally. Reliance on relationships with trusted individuals, prevalent in the East, has often been branded as cronyism. However, following the collapse of major Western institutions, including the Lehman Brothers and the recent financial crisis, the prestige of the Western governance model has been severely battered.
NEW YORK, Dec. 7, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Reflecting the business community's concerns over the pace of corporate tax reform, a new survey by KPMG's Tax Governance Institute (TGI) reveals that although almost half of senior executives favor changing how corporate income earned outside the United States is taxed, they don't expect any real progress on that issue or corporate tax reform overall until after the 2012 Presidential election. The KPMG survey of some 1200 business leaders, conducted following the release of a recent Congressional proposal on overhauling international tax law, revealed that 49 percent of respondents said they favor a territorial system of international taxation, under which almost all foreign income of U.S. multinational companies would be taxed where earned and co...
