¶ … CEO in question was personally responsible for the off-label marketing and yet it was the company that received penalty. In the readings I've done on the subject I've noticed that same trend -- penalties always fall to the companies rather than the people directly involved in the illegal market. A question arises from this. Does the lack of individual culpability lead some biotech companies to blatantly ignore FDA marketing regulations? They know that at worst the company will be penalized and they may be fired -- executives often will have already negotiated a golden parachute anyway.

To an extent, decoupling from big pharma sends a signal to VCs that the biotech industry lacks those types of big league ambitions. This could be a major obstacle to rebranding biopharm, but the issue is an interesting one and well worth analyzing.

Financial Accounting The question is missing a clause. "…is more conducive to ethical behavior" than what? The word "more" invites comparison but there is nothing to compare the current environment to. Well, the current environment is not much different than any past environment. The regulatory environment does not dictate ethics, as ethics exist distinct from laws. Ethical behavior rests on how society itself defines ethics, and is only loosely related to
