One hundred companies have signed on to a watchdog organizations' effort to disclose political expenditures.
A 100th company joined the Center for Political Accountability's corporate governance standard Wednesday, the center announced. The center is seeking companies to sign on to their disclosure and oversight standards in wake of the 2010 Citizens United v. Federal Election Committee Supreme Court ruling. "Hitting the century mark in the drive for corporate disclosure and accountability is tremendously significant," center President Bruce Freed said in a statement. "It reflects growing acceptance of the need to address the heightened risks posed by political spending, especially in a new political environment created by the Supreme Court's Citizens United decision." |
