Boeing, Qantas and corporate governance in aviation – with Megan Motto

In the wake of the Qantas and ongoing Boeing scandals, investors – and the public – are asking questions on corporate governance, risk management, and ethical conduct.

Today we chat with Megan Motto, CEO of the Governance Institute of Australia - a professional association for company secretaries, governance advisers and risk managers.

Aircraft manufacturer Boeing is embroiled in a quality control scandal that included doors blowing off mid-flight and allegations of defects at a key supplier; while Qantas deals with the fallout of its CEOs Alan Joyces quitting in September following intense scrutiny from the national consumer watchdog for selling tickets on flights that didn’t exist.

On the show today, Motto discusses how communication, transparency, and accountability, can safeguard trust, confidence, and company success.
