Roundupdate

Today brings a wealth of interesting items (and lots of video) from around the interweb. To wit:

From Advertising Age: Pfizer's PR chief wishes that government regulators would come up with some kind of Twitter policy, already.

From The Compliance Exchange: Ron Paul says that Barney Frank is going to allow a vote on a bill that would let the GAO audit the Fed's monetary policy! Also, YouTube video of Mary Schapiro talking about restoring the SEC's reputation.

From Compliance Week: a podcast (subscription required) about the SEC's proposal, in release 33-9052, to change the proxy rules with an eye to getting better disclosure about the "relationship of a company's overall compensation policies to risk." The proposal would seek to illuminate compensation policies that "can create inadvertent incentives for management ... to make decisions that significantly, and inappropriately, increase the company's risk."

Finally, from the Corporate Counsel Blog: a roundup of all the commentary on the Rakoff / Merrill / B of A proceedings.
