Paula J. Desio
Chair for Ethics Policy, Ethics Resource Center
Former Deputy General Counsel, U.S. Sentencing Commission

      Explore the events leading to the federal sentencing guidelines on compliance and ethics programs, and how the government has become increasingly involved in the past 15 years in shaping business ethics and corporate governance. The former deputy general counsel of the Sentencing Commission will examine the policies underlying recent federal laws and regulations in a range of industries and consider whether more government involvement or a less rules and more principles-based approach is more appropriate in today’s business environment.
