Preventing Corporate Governance Failure

The key questions that need to be asked in every corporate governance analysis are 'who is running the firm' and 'how is accountability ensured'. When governance breaks down it is because of too much power concentration or not enough accountability or both. Practitioner or analyst, concerned with the listed firm or the non-listed, the reader of this book will gain a precise understanding of the causes and take away a practical toolbox for preventing future incidents of corporate governance failure.
