Callan Family Office, a registered investment advisor serving ultra-high-net-worth families, family offices, foundations and endowments across the United States, today announced the launch of a new offering focused on supporting business owners considering transacting or transitioning their businesses. The Business & Transaction Advisory Practice will be led by industry veterans Jeff Getty and Lisa Clifford. They educate owners on value optimization, exit option strategies, and value enhancement through due diligence preparation. Additionally, they work closely with the business owner’s legal and tax counsel on transaction structuring to minimize all levels of taxation in alignment with the client’s financial, philanthropic, legacy and estate planning goals. “Business owners represent a large segment of the U.S. GDP and most owners’ net worth,” said Jack Ginter, Chief Executive Officer of Callan Family Office. “Before selling or transitioning, an owner should ensure that their business is in its strongest possible position to allow them to generate maximum value. Jeff and Lisa have spent decades strengthening companies and preparing them for sale. We are excited to bring them on to lead this practice and deliver holistic support to business owners during all phases of their business lifecycle.” Getty and Clifford join Callan Family Office from Key Private Bank, where Getty led the family wealth consulting team and founded the Business Advisory practice.

In addition, he is a Fellow in the American College of Trust & Estate Counsel (ACTEC®), Accredited Estate Planner (AEP®), Certified Merger & Acquisition Advisor (CM&AA®), Certified Financial Planner (CFP®), and Certified Value Growth Advisor (CVGA®).

I look forward to delivering optimal value to Callan Family Office clients.” About Callan Family Office Independently owned and operated, Callan Family Office was founded by experienced wealth professionals to provide investment management, thoughtful personalized advice, and holistic financial planning to ultra-high-net-worth families, foundations, and endowments.

Shareholder Warns Maker of Oreo That They are Endangering Their Brand

NLPC

Following the viral online ad it released about Oreo and its troubling partnership with LGBTQ advocacy group PFLAG, National Legal and Policy Center has published a follow-up video to promote a shareholder proposal it will present on May 22 at the annual meeting of Mondelez International, parent company of the cookie brand. NLPC’s resolution calls upon the multinational snack giant to scrutinize areas of risk where it has engaged in disturbing relationships with outside organizations, such as the one Oreo has with PFLAG. Other examples in the proposal cite Mondelez’s support for the Marxist, anti-law enforcement group Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation, and the company’s partnership with the anti-Semitic UN Human Rights. “Mondelez is carelessly dashing through the consumer market dropping mines that very well could end up as tripwires for themselves,” said Paul Chesser, director of the Corporate Integrity Project for NLPC. “It’s not surprising since Chairman/CEO Dirk Van de Put also serves on the board of Anheuser Busch InBev, the company that self-inflicted the greatest brand destruction in many years last April with Bud Light.” As NLPC pointed out with its Oreo video released in February, PFLAG condones gender transition treatments for children as young as three years old, and battles to make sure books with explicit content are allowed in public schools and libraries. NLPC initiated its campaign to highlight the cookie-maker’s inappropriate relationship with PFLAG after it noticed the brand’s social media accounts – primarily on X (formerly Twitter) – were heavily populated with posts in support of PFLAG’s various narratives, causes and social advocacy. The new video released today calls attention to Mondelez’s alliances with BLM and UN Human Rights, as well as PFLAG. In a white paper filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission last month, NLPC also identified possible risky relationships the Chicago-based company has with organizations that include Human Rights Campaign, World Economic Forum, the World Health Organization, and others. The broader media is noticing the increasing criticisms of Corporate America’s fealty to the radical LGBTQ+ agenda that includes the sexualization of children. The Wall Street Journal last week reported on NLPC’s proposal for Mondelez, and last month the nonprofit corporate watchdog earned widespread coverage of its proposal at Disney, which sought equal treatment for employees who have been victimized by radical gender ideology. “The political winds have shifted from just a few years ago, yet Mondelez is still living in the past as if nothing has changed,” said NLPC Chairman Peter Flaherty. “Now that the extreme transgenderism push has inevitably progressed to endanger children, corporate involvement in social justice issues is more treacherous than ever. We urge Dirk Van de Put to wake up to the reality before it’s too late, or the consequences could be devastating.” ### For more information or to schedule an interview with Paul Chesser, contact Dan Rene at 202-329-8357 or drene@nlpc.org.

NAVEX Unveils Compliance Program Management: DOJ Guidance

NAVEX Global

NAVEX, the global leader in integrated risk and compliance management software, announces the release of NAVEX Compliance Program Management: DOJ Guidance. This news comes on the heels of NAVEX’s recent addition of global whistleblowing rules and regulations to the Compliance Program Management solution. Compliance professionals can now navigate corporate governance regulations by mapping their current program to the latest Department of Justice (DOJ) guidelines, pinpointing weaknesses in minutes.

NAVEX Compliance Program Management: DOJ Guidance helps compliance professionals gain instant insights into gaps and vulnerabilities, ensuring their program meets DOJ expectations and minimizes their risk of legal penalties. “Compliance teams today struggle to identify areas of focus, particularly within DOJ guidance,” says Jazz Mimoun, global ethics program director at onsemi. “NAVEX Compliance Program Management: DOJ Guidance can be a useful tool to identify those areas and conduct internal analyses and risk assessments that actively improve a compliance program more effectively.” The solution translates DOJ guidance on corporate compliance into straightforward control recommendations backed by input from industry experts and GRC industry leaders. It removes the frustration of keeping pace with evolving regulations and offers a clear roadmap to: Clarify compliance with expert input: Translate open-ended compliance guidelines from the DOJ to clear-cut compliance statements vetted by legal experts. Score statements to quantify program performance and identify gaps and shortfalls. Demonstrate program value: Organize and score all GRC programs in a single web-based platform. Prove program value and effectiveness with digestible dashboards and board-ready reports. Stay audit ready: A single source of truth for collecting, organizing and accessing evidence of compliance activities and program structure, making it easier and more cost-effective to stay audit ready. Reduce unseen compliance risk: A program designed with industry-proven structures is the best defense against unknown or unwanted risks. Design and deploy a GRC program to effectively predict, manage, and mitigate those risks. "Companies are facing a lot of challenges that go beyond regulatory compliance. They're dealing with resource constraints, technology integrations, cross-departmental collaboration and more,” says NAVEX Chief Product Officer, A.G. Lambert.

NAVEX Announces Global Whistleblower Regulatory Compliance Management

NAVEX Global

NAVEX, the global leader in integrated risk and compliance management software, today announced the launch of its Regulatory Compliance Management (RCM) solution. It helps organizations easily navigate and adhere to international whistleblowing compliance rules and regulations in all geographies where they operate – thus avoiding hefty fines and potential impact to business reputation. Whistleblowing is the first of many regulations to be covered, RCM will expand its offering to include other international directives and legislations. With the emergence of large-scale whistleblower regulations such as the EU Whistleblower Protection Directive and the Whistleblower Protection Act, multinational organizations face an even tougher challenge staying compliant and up to date with guidelines. NAVEX RCM will be invaluable to companies wishing to assess and analyze restrictions, requirements, and/or guidelines related to whistleblowing regulations across global jurisdictions. This includes intake methods, notice and consent requirements, reportable issue types, availability of anonymity, and other unique intake, data privacy, and incident management considerations. Prior to NAVEX Regulatory Compliance Management, organizations either assigned employees or paid lawyers a significant sum to track requirements painstakingly and manually. This resulted in hours spent understanding the information gathered on an ad hoc basis, whilst simultaneously balancing and updating internal policies. With NAVEX’s RCM solution, highly skilled subject matter experts will personally assess updates and provide tailored guidance on how to address regulatory changes. They will also offer continued insights and recommendations via an automated platform to empower customers to make informed and strategic decisions. Organizations with global operations gain access to the knowledge and expertise necessary to meet or exceed complex international compliance requirements, thereby reducing risk while reinforcing oversight responsibility. Unlike manual efforts, NAVEX RCM delivers information through an up-to-date web-based portal, rather than spreadsheets, PDFs, and Word documents. This platform enables customizable alerts and automatic notifications when information is updated. “By subscribing to Regulatory Compliance Management, changes are detailed directly in our software as countries update their legislation – all accessible from a centralized dashboard,” said NAVEX Chief Product Officer, A.G. Lambert. “NAVEX continually reviews regulations at the country level to help organizations remain compliant. When regulations are updated, the system will notify subscribed customers of the changes. Decisionmakers will then be able to assess these and update their existing incident management programs as required.” To learn more about NAVEX Regulatory Compliance Management, please read our blog or visit the product page here. NAVEX is trusted by thousands of customers worldwide to help them achieve the business outcomes that matter most. As the global leader in integrated risk and compliance management software and services, we deliver solutions through the NAVEX One platform, the industry’s most comprehensive governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) information system.

The Chemours Company Has Been Implicated In A Securities Fraud Class Action Lawsuit – Here’s How Investors Can Get More Information

Benzinga

By Faith Ashmore, Benzinga The Chemours Company (NYSE: CC) has been under scrutiny for a securities fraud class action lawsuit filed in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware. The action, Taylor Jr. v. The Chemours Company, et al. affects anyone who purchased or acquired Chemours common stock between February 10, 2023, and February 28, 2024. Chemours, a chemical company, is accused of engaging in misconduct related to its financial reporting. The company claimed to have generated strong Free Cash Flow for the fourth quarter of 2022 and the full year of 2022, which is the amount of cash a company has available after accounting for operational expenses and investments in property and equipment. Chemours reported its Free Cash Flow figures and its CEO and CFO certified the accuracy of the numbers. Chemours also set criteria for executive compensation based on financial targets, including Free Cash Flow targets. Senior executive officers, including the CEO and CFO, were entitled to additional cash compensation and stock-based compensation if these targets were met. However, on February 13, 2024, Chemours announced a delay in releasing its financial results for the fourth quarter and full year of 2023. The company cited the need for additional time to complete its reporting process and evaluate its internal control over financial reporting. It also revealed that an internal review was being conducted by the audit committee. As a result of this announcement, the stock price of Chemours fell by over 12%. Then, on February 29, 2024, Chemours further shocked investors by announcing that its CEO, CFO and principal accounting officer were placed on administrative leave. The company disclosed that the investigation involved processes for reviewing reports made to the company's Ethics Hotline and practices for managing working capital, including their impact on incentive plans and certain financial metrics. Following this revelation, the stock price of Chemours plummeted by more than 31% to the price of $28.72 per share. On March 6, 2024, Chemours announced that the audit committee found evidence that senior management had deliberately delayed payments to vendors and accelerated the collection of receivables to meet Free Cash Flow targets and incentive compensation metrics. Kessler Topaz Meltzer & Check, LLP has filed a class action lawsuit against The Chemours Company based on the admission of the senior management’s securities fraud. Here’s How Investors With Losses Can Find Out More Information About Their Rights Kessler Topaz Meltzer & Check, LLP, located in Radnor, Pennsylvania, has earned a reputation for prosecuting class actions in state and federal courts throughout the U.S. and globally. It has successfully recovered billions of dollars for victims of fraud and other corporate misconduct. The firm is encouraging Chemours investors who have suffered significant losses to directly contact the firm for more information. To potentially qualify as a lead plaintiff in the Chemours class action lawsuit, investors must take action no later than May 20, 2024. They can move the Court to serve as lead plaintiff either through Kessler Topaz Meltzer & Check, LLP, or other legal counsel. Alternatively, investors can choose to do nothing and remain as absent class members. A lead plaintiff is a representative party who acts on behalf of all class members in the litigation. This individual or small group of investors typically has the largest financial interest and is considered adequate and typical of the proposed class of investors. The lead plaintiff also selects legal counsel to represent both the lead plaintiff and the class. If the court approves these attorneys, they become lead or class counsel. Applying to become a lead plaintiff does not affect an investor's ability to share in any recovery from the lawsuit. CLICK HERE to submit your Chemours losses or to contact an attorney to discuss your rights: Jonathan Naji, Esq. (484) 270-1453 or email at info@ktmc.com. Featured photo by Tasos Mansour on Unsplash.
