Globe says TD board scrutinized for lame performance

2024-11-25 09:06 ET - In the News

The Globe and Mail reports in its Saturday edition that a shareholder advocacy group is calling on Toronto-Dominion Bank to launch an independent review of its board after an investigation by U.S. regulators and law enforcement found the bank guilty of conspiracy to commit money laundering. Investors for Paris Compliance, which aims to hold companies to account on climate action, filed a shareholder proposal Friday requesting TD to do an impartial investigation into its board governance policies and director-selection criteria. Shareholders are concerned the governance issues that contributed to the bank's compliance failures are systemic, and could allow for other gaps that extend beyond money laundering, according to the group. "In light of the bank's recently exposed governance failures, we are looking for board accountability and renewal, including that new board members are properly qualified to manage major risks and opportunities," Kyra Bell-Pasht, the group's director of research and policy, said in a statement to The Globe. Last month, TD pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit money laundering and agreed to pay a penalty of more than $3-billion (U.S.) to U.S. regulators and the Department of Justice.
