Professor Kate Kenny hosted two sessions at NUI Galway with Professor Richard Bowen, University of Texas at Dallas, who addressed MBA, Accounting and Finance students and Whitaker Institute members.

Professor Bowen spoke about his experiences as a professional chartered accountant, and business underwriter, who detected risky lending behaviour within the world’s largest bank.  He then discussed the role of leadership in developing open and ethical organizational cultures alongside practical ways in which organizations have worked towards this, drawing on international best practice.
