Download or read book Corporate Governance and Directors' Independence written by Yuan Zhao and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 2011-01-01 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More and more, the agenda of corporate governance reform has been calling for a dramatic change in the composition and structure of boards of publicly traded companies, with particular criticism reserved for the role of independent directors. This timely, ground-breaking book takes a new and rigorous approach to this important issue. Investigating board independence from a distinctly original perspective, the author's systematic analysis explores the effective interaction of such aspects as the following: What specific functions are expected of independent directors? How these functions fit with the unitary board structure? Why independent directors are seen as inherently necessary for corporate governance? Whether board independence can be compatible with other governance mechanisms? How mainstream company law is applied to independent directors. The analysis leads to a series of solutions designed to eliminate the real and perceived obstacles to the proper functioning of independent directors. In the process, the author discusses such critical 'moments' in corporate governance as monitoring, public relations, social responsibility, shareholder activism, the danger of 'groupthink', remuneration, collective liability, and codes of conduct. The discussion and analysis chart a course through which independent directors can better serve the goal of improving the system of corporate governance. As such, it will be greatly appreciated by investors, corporate counsel for institutional investors, and policymakers and academics in relevant areas of both business and law.

Download or read book The Roles of Independent Directors in Promoting Best Corporate Governance Practices written by Society for Corporate Governance Nigeria and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 11 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The importance of having individuals with no financial, personal, or material attachments, as directors of the company stemmed primarily from the proverb, “whomever pays the piper dictates the tune.” As each board director represented various interests, ranging from institutional investors, shareholders with large holdings, venture capitalists, the CEO among others which may supersede the interests of the company and the shareholders.Therefore, the need for a director bearing impartiality and objectivity to the board brought forth the 'independent director' who would, occupy a unique position to dissect through the core issues and find a neutral position where issues arises in the boardroom; being a bridge builder in difficult conversations; bring in a specific expertise to the board and utilize his or her networking abilities and other resources to enhance the company's portfolio. This article therefore seeks to examine who an independent director is, the difference from non-executive directors, the roles of independent directors, frameworks imposing the inclusion of independent directors as well as the evaluation of independence and its application in Nigeria, while juxtaposing it with other countries.

Book Synopsis The Effectiveness of Boards of Directors of State Owned Enterprises in Developing Countries by : Maria Vagliasindi
Download or read book The Effectiveness of Boards of Directors of State Owned Enterprises in Developing Countries written by Maria Vagliasindi and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2008 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: This paper aims to shed some new light on the conditions needed to ensure the effectiveness of Boards of Directors of state owned enterprises with a focus on infrastructure sectors. In the case of developing countries, empirical studies have found evidence of positive links between the composition of the Board of Directors and financial performance. Yet the lack of solid theoretical foundations, and in some cases poor data availability, makes the conclusions of most studies weak. Several policy recommendations emerge from the review of the economic literature and evidence from case studies. First, the introduction of a sufficient number of independent directors emerges as an important corporate governance milestone. Empowering them to exercise effective monitoring of management, however, may prove to be a formidable challenge for of state owned enterprises. More attention to board procedures, particularly related to the Board selection and evaluation process, is essential, to produce the necessary insulation of Boards from government interference. Ensuring sufficient continuity of services to directors is particularly crucial to improve corporate governance. In addition, other factors that may reduce directors' ability to monitor corporate activities, such as the age profile and the number of Boards on which they sit, need to be handled more carefully.
