Corporate Scandals and Promoting Ethical Leadership: Breaking the Cycle of Greed

The Economic & Financial Committee (Second Committee) within the UN is most known for its work relating to economic development, growth, and macroeconomic policy. This committee is currently in its 79th session, and works towards the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) using an economic perspective. For this special session of the second committee, delegates will convene to deliberate on an economic problem destroying trillions of dollars of value and a cause for recessions worldwide: corporate fraud. This committee will focus on famous examples of Enron, WorldCom, and Lehman Brothers, along with fraud in developing nations stunting significant growth. Despite rushed reactionary legislation addressing each fraud, scandals continue to proliferate. FTX and Theranos remain a prime example of this. Delegates will work together to solve the root causes of corporate fraud rather than the band-aid measures we have seen in the past like Sarbanes-Oxley and Dodd-Frank. This committee is recommended for high school delegates interested in learning more economics and finance, along with those with prior experience with MUN conferences.
