U.S. consumers, businesses, and local, state, and federal governments have amassed unprecedented levels of debt and financial commitments. The banking crisis has further exacerbated the problems. Who is responsible? Who will pay? What does this mean to our future? Charles A. Bowsher will offer his insights into these important questions.

His experience includes a 15-year term as Comptroller General of the United States and head of the General Accounting Office (GAO), a 21-year association with Arthur Andersen & Co., and a 4-year period as Assistant Secretary of the Navy for Financial Management. Since retiring as Comptroller General, he has served on several corporate boards.
