TORONTO, April 5, 2002 --
Corporate governance. Financial disclosure. Auditing. Risk Management. The Enron situation raises new and troubling questions about the way companies operate. Lessons are emerging that are vital to directors, executives, investors, and the business community.
Building on the success of a briefing on these issues last month, the University of Toronto's Joseph L. Rotman School of Management is holding two additional seminars for the business community to examine the issues and lessons learned from Enron.
