This CLE seminar will cover the historical development of the current U.S. disclosure system and Board requirements, tracing how U.S. requirements and practices arose out of a series of historical ethical, financial and accounting-related crises. We will pay particular attention to U.S. requirements for director independence and will discuss the roles and responsibilities of members of U.S. public company Boards. This seminar is recommended for anyone who does U.S. corporate governance, high-level U.S. public company corporate reporting and/or for those seeking to better understand U.S. corporate governance in light of the ongoing changes within Japanese corporate governance practices.

About CLE Credit
Temple Law School is an accredited provider of continuing legal education (CLE) in Pennsylvania. Various states, including California and New York, recognize Pennsylvania CLE credits. However, attorneys are responsible for checking with the CLE board in their jurisdiction before attending the CLE seminar whether Pennsylvania CLE credits will count towards their CLE requirements and what their jurisdiction requires them to do to claim out-of- state CLE credits. Please inform us before the seminar if your CLE board requires anything other than a copy of the Pennsylvania CLE credit form and a certificate of attendance.
