The shared common concerns of this group are the financial health of XYZ global financial services firm balance sheet, and the plans to meet regulatory obligations and compliance, and the lessons learned from the national investment crisis that will be incorporated into a risk management plan.

Introduction Values are beliefs that people have about what is important or worthwhile to them. Values influence behavior because people seek more of what they value. As U.S. Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart concluded, “There is a difference between what you have a right to do, and what is right to do.” (JWMI 505, Wk 8, Lecture 1). Values therefore can be seen as the guideposts for behavior. As opposed to rules, which are always transmitted from the top down, values should be developed in a more participative way. (JWMI 505, Wk 8, Lecture 1). An individual’s values are in large part, derived from the social environment in which he or she lives. For example, in Western democracies, life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness are some of the things we value. Sharing...
