Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Corporate Governance Matters gives corporate board members, officers, directors, and other stakeholders the full spectrum of knowledge they need to implement and sustain superior governance. Authored by two leading experts, this comprehensive reference thoroughly addresses every component of governance. The authors carefully synthesize current academic and professional research, summarizing what is known, what is unknown, and where the evidence remains inconclusive. Along the way, they illuminate many key topics overlooked in previous books on the subject. Coverage includes: International corporate governance. Compensation, equity ownership, incentives, and the labor market for CEOs. Optimal board structure, tradeoffs, and consequences. Governance, organizational strategy, business models, and risk management. Succession planning. Financial reporting and external audit. The market for corporate control. Roles of institutional and activist shareholders. Governance ratings. The authors offer models and frameworks demonstrating how the components of governance fit together, with concrete examples illustrating key points. Throughout, their balanced approach is focused strictly on two goals: to “get the story straight,” and to provide useful tools for making better, more informed decisions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The equity listing standards of the three largest U.S. securities markets- the American Stock Exchange (Amex), Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. (NASDAQ), and New York Stock Exchange (NYSE)-have received heightened attention as part of public and private efforts to restore investor confidence in the markets.1 Listing standards have been the focus of attention because they govern which companies can be listed for trading on a particular market and are intended in part to maintain public confidence in the markets. In its role as a self-regulatory organization (SRO), each market establishes and enforces the standards that companies must meet to be listed for trading.2 To oversee the effectiveness of the SROs' listing programs, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), through its Office of Compliance Inspections and Examinations (OCIE), periodically inspects these programs and makes recommendations intended to improve them. Your ongoing interest in learning how the three largest SROs have addressed OCIE's recommendations for improving their listing programs, particularly those related to protecting investors, has broadened as listing standards have increasingly become the focus of solutions to challenges facing the markets.3 First, in response to the market turmoil resulting from the September 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States, NASDAQ, subject to SEC's oversight, implemented a rule that imposed a moratorium on enforcing its listing standards for bid price4 and market value of publicly held shares5 and subsequently implemented two additional rules that further relaxed its bid-price standard. These actions raised questions about how NASDAQ and SEC, in their regulatory roles, balanced the goal of market stability against that of investor protection. Second, the unexpected failures of several major corporations beginning in 2001 focused congressional and regulatory attention on improving issuers and SROs' corporate governance-that is, the way boards oversee management to ensure that organizations are well-run and shareholders are treated fairly.6 As agreed with your offices, we discuss the following in this report: (1) the status of OCIE's recommendations to the three largest SROs for improving their markets' equity listing programs, focusing on a recommendation intended to ensure early and ongoing public notification of issuers' noncompliance with continued listing standards; (2) the extent to which OCIE uses SROs' internal review reports in its inspection process;7 (3) SEC's oversight of NASDAQ's moratorium and subsequent bid-price rule changes and the listing status of the issuers directly affected by these

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on the federalization of corporate governance in the United States from both historical and contemporary perspectives. Although the states traditionally have regulated the sphere of corporate governance - encompassing the relations among and between the subject corporation, its directors, its officers, its stockholders, and other stakeholders - federal law today impacts the governance of publicly-traded companies to a greater degree than ever before in U.S. history. This book discusses the evolution and development of corporate governance from a federal law perspective from the commencement of the twentieth century to the present. It examines the tension between state company law and federal law, analyzes the federal historical developments, explains the ramifications of the federal legislation enacted during the past two decades, and recommends corrective measures that should be implemented. The book accordingly provides an original, historical, and contemporary analysis of the federalization of corporate governance - a subject that impacts this country's economic well-being in a very fundamental way.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: "Enforcement more than regulations, laws-on-the-books, or voluntary codes is key to effective corporate governance, at least in transition and developing countries. Corporate governance and enforcement mechanisms are intimately linked as they affect firms' ability to commit to their stakeholders, in particular to external investors. Berglof and Claessens provide a framework for understanding these links and how they are shaped by countries' institutional contexts. When the general enforcement environment is weak and specific enforcement mechanisms function poorly, as in many developing and transition countries, few of the traditional corporate governance mechanisms are effective. The principal consequence in these countries is a large blockholder, but there are important potential costs to this mechanism. A range of private and public enforcement 'tools' can help reduce these costs and reinforce other supplementary corporate governance mechanisms. The limited empirical evidence suggests that private tools are more effective than public forms of enforcement in the typical environment of most developing and transition countries. However, public enforcement is necessary regardless, and private enforcement mechanisms often require public laws to function. Furthermore, in some countries at least, bottom-up, private-led tools preceded and even shaped public laws. Political economy constraints resulting from the intermingling of business and politics, however, often prevent improvements in the general enforcement environment, and adoption and implementation of public laws in these countries. This paper a product of the Global Corporate Governance Forum, Corporate Governance Department is part of a larger effort in the department to help improve the understanding of corporate governance reform in developing countries"--World Bank web site.
