RECOMMENDATION
The Tyco crisis of 2002 was a major incident in corporate history that brought about significant
internal reforms inside the organization and emphasized the value of good corporate
governance and moral conduct. Allegations of insider trading, accounting fraud, and lavish
spending by top executives, including CEO Dennis Kozlowski, were all part of the controversy.
Kozlowski and other top executives were forced to retire as a result of the scandal, and other
fraud suspects were charged with crimes and given prison terms. The crisis also brought
heightened focus to corporate governance procedures and emphasized how important it is for
businesses to have robust processes in place to deter unethical conduct.
Tyco International has since undergone significant changes, including a restructuring in 2007
that saw the company divest non-core businesses and focus on its core businesses in security,
fire protection, and flow control. The company has also made efforts to improve its corporate
governance practices and has implemented stronger ethical guidelines and compliance
procedures.
