Michael Peregrine authored this bylined article about the board’s responsibility to address issues of individual accountability. “Whether the matter involves civil or criminal enforcement, allegations of breach of fiduciary duty, securities regulation, or investigative media attention, the focus will continue to be on ‘following the conduct,’” Mr. Peregrine wrote. “This means identifying individuals who can be held responsible for organizational misconduct, wherever they may reside in the corporate hierarchy.”
