“…Such market-based penalties serve to limit incentives for managers to engage in misconduct in the financial market (Aitken et al, in this issue; Cumming et al, in this issue). For example, Romano (1991), Niehaus and Roth (1999) and Collins et al (2008) document increased CEO turnover surrounding securities class actions and accounting restatements. Proceedings initiated by the Securities and Exchange Commission ('SEC') similarly affect CEO turnover of the accused company, as documented by Karpoff et al (2008) and Correia and Klausner (2012).…”

“…Collins, Reitenga, and Sanchez (2008) find that CFO turnovers are affected by restatements, but only when the restatement firm is the target of a class-action suit. They interpret this evidence as consistent with classaction securities litigation being a significant externally-imposed governance measure that explains ex post settling-up associated with the restatement event.…”
