A decade of misdeeds, financial crisis and economic malaise have put a sharp focus on issues of corporate governance and regulation. The FTI Journal interviews three leaders who occupied powerful places during the financial meltdown to get their views on the crisis and how it has shaped their opinions of the reforms that have been put in place. In the sphere of corporate governance, this issue also examines gender diversity on boards across the globe and the critical task of managing investor relations in an era when public resentment is growing and management’s right to govern is something that increasingly must be earned.

When should companies deploy their accumulated corporate cash? As profits surge and stockpiles grow, so do pressures on companies to put that capital to work. The FTI Journal considers places where that money may end up- such as funding stock repurchases or direct payments to shareholders, underwriting expansion or paying for entry into new markets. Veteran board members share their ideas on how best to respond to shareholder pressures and we examine the diverse challenges, many of them unexpected, that could slow growth in Asia’s inexorable rise and urge investors to be wary, well informed and unafraid.
