Product Details
From the back cover: "You are being provided with
Corporate Governance , a professional McGraw-Hill volume, as a vehicle to extend discussions of this vital concept that can accompany your finance source/text and add richness to the topic.
"Even before the Enron debacle and the other widely publicized scandals, there has been a steadily increasing volume of criticism and complaints regarding the governance of many companies. There are accounting irregularities and financial disclosure problems that have seriously misled the public as well as regulatory authorities. The collective problem of business today is coming to be seen as a failure of corporate governance, meaning far too many boards are failing to execute their duties responsibly, both collectively and individually.
"The authors have produced a book that examines corporate governance that can be informative for aspiring and active board members, managers, students of business, and individuals who want to understand the numerous facets of the governance process more clearly and are looking for useful insights into how they might do their work more effectively."
