We are in the midst of tectonic shifts and game-changers in the way corporations are run and governed in the aftermath of the Global Financial Crisis of 2007–09. Governments and standard-setters all over the world are enacting significant legislation and codes to include shareholder engagement, governance of executive compensation, risk-adjusted compensation, diversity, governance of stakeholder relations, and leading disclosure and integrated sustainability practices. Our graduates are truly fortunate that the program reflects all of these developments and faculty have expertise assisting regulators and significant companies to adapt to — and lead — these changes.
— Dr. Richard Leblanc
Each MFAc class is an enriching experience for all involved. We have cohorts of very qualified and experienced students that truly enrich our debates on, and our probing of, ethical issues, governance dilemma, and real world problems.
