Easterbrook, McDonalds Board & Discretionary Firings

The award winning, Compliance into the Weeds is the only weekly podcast which takes a deep dive into a compliance related topic, literally going into the weeds to more fully explore a subject. In this episode, Matt and I take a look the recent SEC enforcement action involving Steve Easterbrook and McDonald’s. Some of the highlights include: ·      Matt tells the tale. ·      Should Easterbrook have originally been fired for cause for violating the company Code of Conduct? ·      What were the factors for the Board in not terminating for cause? ·      Should Easterbrook have been awarded a golden parachute the first time around?  ·      Why did the SEC issue a Cease and Desist Order against McDonalds?  ·      What, if anything, should McDonalds have disclosed?  ·      What does this case say about clawbacks? Corporate culture? ·      What are the lessons learned?  Resources Matt Kelly in Radical Compliance Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
