RBC Countersues Ex-Treasury Exec Tied to CFO Firing
RBC's Legal Action Against Ken Mason
In a surprising turn, RBC has filed a countersuit against former treasury executive Ken Mason. This legal action is intricately linked to the recent firing of CFO Nadine Ahn. According to the documents, Mason portrayed his promotion to vice president as 'merit-based', effectively suggesting that his friendship with Ahn influenced his swift career advancement.
Controversial Pay Increase
- Mason experienced a staggering 70% pay increase shortly after Ahn ascended to the CFO position.
- This salary surge raises significant concerns about corporate governance and internal promotion practices.
- The timing of this substantial raise lends weight to the allegations in the countersuit.
This countersuit not only challenges Mason's claims of merit in his promotion but also paints a broader picture of possible ethical issues within RBC's management practices. The outcomes of this legal battle could have far-reaching implications on the bank's reputation and regulatory scrutiny.
