Make business leaders accountable

In the aftermath of the financial crisis in the United States, the Dodd Frank Act put in place guidelines through which organisations could be bailed out in the likelihood of bankruptcy. This legislation was created to promote the financial stability of the country by improving accountability in the financial system and to protect taxpayers' funds. Organisations subject to these rescue packages are loosely defined as systemic important, specifically due to their size.

In cases where profitability on investment was the measure, there was consensus that for institutions like Citibank and Bank of America, the Troubled Asset Relief Program was a success. However, for a lot of other organisations the jury is still out on whether government-aided financial rescue has been effective.
