After the Post Office scandal, how can senior executives be held to account for corporate wrongdoing?

Please join us for an in-person panel session in Parliament on senior executive criminal liability.

Chaired by Dame Margaret Hodge MP, speakers will include:

  • Dr Roger Barker, Director of Policy and Corporate Governance at the Institute of Directors

  • Dr Susan Hawley, Executive Director at Spotlight on Corruption

The session will mark the launch of Spotlight on Corruption’s upcoming report on how the UK is performing on holding senior executives to account for economic crime.

The report covers a range of subjects, from prosecutions to disqualifications and the removal of director’s benefits. Spotlight finds that the UK’s record, ten years after the Commission on Banking Standards report, is poor and that the UK is falling behind the US. With strong research to show that better corporate governance increases growth and firm value, and that accountability is critical for financial stability and market integrity, is the UK missing a trick by not having a stronger accountability regime in place?

We hope you are able to join us. Please RSVP and for venue information please to matt.sokhi@parliament.uk
