Compliance into the Weeds - Easterbrook, McDonald's Board & Discretionary Firings

The award-winning, Compliance into the Weeds is the only weekly podcast that takes a deep dive into a compliance-related topic, literally going into the weeds to explore a subject.

In this episode, Matt and I look at the recent SEC enforcement action involving Steve Easterbrook and McDonald’s.

Some of the highlights include:

• Matt tells the tale.
• Should Easterbrook have been initially fired for cause for violating the company Code of Conduct?
• What were the factors for the Board in not terminating for a cause?
• Should Easterbrook have been awarded a golden parachute the first time around?
• Why did the SEC issued a Cease and Desist Order against Mcdonald’s?
• What, if anything, should Mcdonald’s have disclosed?
• What does this case say about clawbacks? Corporate culture?
• What are the lessons learned?

Good news!
