Anticipating the Congressional, Enforcement and Risk Management Ramifications of the Sub Prime Mortgage Meltdown

The Sub Prime Mortgage crisis has become the single most critical issue for financial services companies and exposes both those corporations and their senior executives to increased scrutiny from the legislative, regulatory and law enforcement community.

• What will be the Congressional response to the Sub Prime Mortgage crisis? Will my company be the target of a Congressional Investigation?
• What is the focus of the SEC, the Department of Justice and other regulators as it relates to my company and our executives?
• What are our liability exposures for class actions, shareholder derivative litigation, or investigations by the SEC or U.S. Attorney’s Office?
• How do we effectively manage collateral investigations or litigation matters by federal, state, or private parties?
• What should our Audit Committee do (or what should they have done) in response to our potential liability and exposure?
• What are our SOX, audit and compliance obligations in light of this issue?
• What were the conditions that allowed this crisis to occur?

This panel discussion is a must attend for financial industry senior executives and general counsels who are interested in managing these issues and fashioning a strategic game plan to maintain a competitive edge. Recognizing that Congressional action is at the forefront of this issue and that it will significantly affect the enforcement paradigm, this panel will provide you with the insight and advice of leaders in the legislative, regulatory and enforcement community.
