WHAT: William J. McDonough, chairman and CEO of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB), will deliver a speech
entitled "The Challenge for Private Sector Leaders" at The
Economic Club of Chicago's February dinner meeting.
WHO: McDonough recently made headlines when urging corporations to
scrutinize top executive compensation packages. He noted that
corporations willingly and rightfully lowering such pay is
better than any new laws limiting it, which would hurt the
U.S. economy. Following accounting scandals at companies such
as Enron Corporation and WorldCom, Inc., the PCAOB was created
by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 to oversee the audits of
public companies in order to protect the interests of
investors and further the public interest in the preparation
of informative, fair and independent audit reports. McDonough
was appointed to the PCAOB as chairman in June 2003. He had
previously served as president and CEO of the Federal Reserve
Bank of New York and had spent 22 years with First Chicago
Corp. and its bank, First National Bank of Chicago.
