Company JP Morgan (JPM) Corporate Governance & Ethics – general question You should be aware of the many benefits of outstanding corporate governance including stability of equity prices, avoidance of unexpected takeover offers, and sensitivity to shareholders concerns regarding compensation of senior executives and the strategic direction of the firm. These attributes come about through the efforts of multiple “players” or influences regarding the way the governance structure and performance are developed. Choose 3 of the following players or agents that have the most influence on your assigned company and discuss how they influence the creation and maintenance of the governance of the firm and how this affects the value of the firm. ??Things to consider discussing in your answer: Why did you select these three players and how do they exert their influence? Where do they have common and conflicting issues in their governance approaches? What ethical issues stand out the most strongly for your chosen agents? How does “agency theory” enter the relationship? How does the financial planner incorporate ethical considerations, relevant to your assigned firm, into developing a risk profile approach for clients with different values and objectives? What role does corporate social responsibility play? What role does cybersecurity play in governance for these agents? What role does the diversity of the board of directors play? What role do the compensation structure and other incentives play? Players: Financial planners/Investment advisors Board of directors and senior management Accounting and auditing firms Creditors and credit rating firms Activist shareholders Merger and acquisition firms SEC and other regulatory requirements Remember Remember that financial planners and investment advisors are advising clients who are considering purchasing shares of stock.
