The Canary In The Boardroom
b'In the last few weeks, a conga-line of some of the world\\u2019s largest companies have announced pay cuts for their CEO\\u2019s and boards of directors. \\n\\nIn Australia alone, $25 million dollars in base pay for company directors and CEO\\u2019s has been waved in what appears to either be a sign of solidarity, or a sign that \\u2018recovery\\u2019 is a long way-off. \\n \\nBut, with feathers being ruffled on the top-floor; and COVID\\u2019s role as the ultimate corporate disrupter, does waving the CEO\\u2019s salary give any hope to the rest of the workforce, or is it the corporate canary in the coalmine?\\n\\nJoining us is is Vishy Narayaran; Chief Digital & Information Officer at PwC Australia, Dr. Anna Loyeung, Senior Lecturer in the Accounting Discipline Group at The University of Technology Sydney\\u2019s Business School and Dr. Samir Ghannam, also a lecturer in the accounting discipline group.'
