Corporate Accountability - Franco ASSIGNMENT FOR THE FIRST CLASS (Monday Aug. 18):** This course is a combination of lecture (to a lesser degree) and seminar (to a greater degree) that will address the interplay between corporate governance and the federal securities laws. The first half of the course will address the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (known formally as the Public Company Accounting Reform and Investor Protection Act of 2002 and informally as SOX), the massive piece of legislation spawned by Enron and a related series of corporate accounting scandals. In discussing SOX, we will use the Enron situation to provide a concrete illustration of corporate misconduct and thus a significant amount of time will be devoted to the underlying facts of the Enron debacle. You will find in some respects that SOX is very much tailored to the abuses that came to light in Enron and in related corporate accounting scandals. The remainder of the course will deal with two other related securities law corporate governance issues: the role of lawyers and proxy regulation. Although the course is focused on corporate accountability, a subsidiary goal of the course is to familiarize students with the use of primary materials in connection with understanding the securities laws. Thus, we will look at and consider many materials in their original form (including rulemaking releases, SEC reports, no-action letters, and corporate filings). We will rely primarily on course-paks and there will be four over the course of the semester. The first, which I will distribute at our first meeting, focuses largely on factual materials that will keep us occupied for most of the first month. The second will deal with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. The third will deal with the role of lawyers in preventing client misconduct and the fourth will be on proxy regulation (as noted, a topic not directly related to Enron or Sarbanes-Oxley, but that is integral to an understanding of the effect of the securities laws on corporate governance). I will separately distribute to class members a memo on course papers and possible topics. I would like everyone to begin considering paper topics. I will have you do several preliminary exercises in developing your topic during the course. As I discussed above, it is necessary to become immersed in the Enron story itself to provide some context for thinking about corporate accountability and reforms. I am going to assign as background reading that you should complete in the next couple of weeks that is eminently readable on the underlying story (even if it is a little sympathetic to the late Ken Lay's side of the story): Kurt Eichenwald , Conspiracy of Fools: A True Story (2005). We will spend the third and fourth class discussing aspects of this books and will watch the DVD, Smartest Guys in the Room, during the second class meeting. Enron has actually spawned a whole genre of books that purport to provide the true journalistic account and if you feel a strong desire to read one of the other and possibly shorter accounts than the Eichenwald book, you should feel free to do so. The other books are: Bethany McLean & Peter Elkind , Smartest Guys in the Room: The Amazing Rise and Scandalous Fall of Enron (2003) Peter C. Fusaro & Ross M. Miller, What Went Wrong at Enron: Everyone's Guide to the Largest Bankruptcy in U.S. History (2002) Robert Bryce, Pipe Dreams: Greed, Ego, and the Death of Enron (2002) Loren Fox , Enron: The Rise and Fall (2002) Mimi Swartz & Sherron Watkins, Power Failure: The Inside Story of the Collapse of Enron (2003) Brian Cruver , Anatomy of Greed: The Unshredded Truth from an Enron Insider (2002)) Barbara Ley Toffler & Jennifer Reingold, Final Accounting: Ambition, Greed, and the Fall of Arthur Andersen (2003) Note: The book below is not a journalistic account of Enron but focuses on a critical perspective on the significance of Enron. Malcolm S. Salter, Innovation Corrupted: The Origins and Legacy of Enron's Collapse (2008) Corporations - Polito Our first class meeting will be on Tuesday, August 19, at 10:00 a.m. in Sargent Hall 285. ATTENDANCE ON THE FIRST DAY OF THE SEMESTER IS CRUCIAL FOR BOTH ENROLLED STUDENTS AND THOSE ON THE WAITLIST. PLEASE BE ON TIME AS I WILL BE OUTLINING THE OBJECTIVES OF THE SEMESTER THE FIRST FEW MINUTES OF THE CLASS MEETING.
