Corporate Governance: Who Will Guard the Guardians* ------jaico
As
companies become bigger and more powerful, the need to oversee them
grows ever, and ever more difficult to achieve... From the author of
Just Reward?, this is a cutting-edge analysis of corporate governance,
and the way that company directors’ accountability is moving into new
realms.
Polly Peck, Robert Maxwell, BCCI.... There are many examples of abuse of
power in large corporations and the damage this can cause. Recent
developments in the field of corporate governance have made significant
progress in highlighting the importance of these issues, but we are
still a very long way from a workable system which can truly protect the
interests of the innocent, without hampering high performance by
companies.
Anthony Williams shows how we can take things forward. The book includes
a review of the way in which directors are currently regulated, and
explains how the systems already in place can be modified to provide the
protection we need.
