Case Study 1

‘Directors warn the buck stops with chief executives in the latest salvo in the business culture wars between government, regulators and boards.

Australian Securities Commission chairman Greg Medcraft last week said that accusations he wants to change the law to hold directors criminally liable for wayward culture are a misunderstanding and he is not pushing for changes “at this stage”.

Tensions between directors and ASIC have escalated following the regulator’s cases against Westpac Banking Corp and ANZ Banking Group and Labor’s call’s for a royal commission into the banking sector which have given rise to accusations the regulator is seeking to become the culture police.

Directors including Qantas Airways’ Jacqueline Hey, Australia Post chairman John Stanhope and founder and director of IBIS World Phil Ruthven told an Australian Institute of Company Directors lunch on Wednesday that while boards can “set the right tone”, the buck stops with the CEO.

“CEOs set culture not boards,” Mr Ruthven said.
