Leadership in Corporate Governance Moving Forward on the Bush Watch
Bush is pulling into the home stretch gaining after the debates are over. We all know he is not going to win as a debater, but his leadership is strong. His administration is charged as soft on corporations, but I wonder what CFO's and CEO's think about that with the first Sarbanes-Oxley filing deadlines arriving just post-election. This is the administration that called a halt to the abusive companies such as Enron,Tyco etc. Their leadership in this area continues to set the bar high for US markets. As well, we should set the bar high as Americans. We are the leaders and have to act like it. The rest of the world is watching.
