S&P Global Ratings, a leader in credit ratings and analysis of governments and corporations, hosted the event Nov. 3 at the university’s College of Law.
Experts covered a range of topics including lessons since the Great Recession; the Volcker Alliance’s Truth and Integrity in Government Finance project; updates on the state and local credit rating environment; the demographic shifts of an aging population and its role on pensions and health care; government cybersecurity and more.
