Abstract

The post crisis reform of corporate governance poses significant policy challenges to director remuneration, risk management, internal practices, boards' ability to understand and control risk-taking, and shareholder concern over the long-term value of their investments. Financial institutions' corporate governance practices warrant special attention, due to the systemic implications of corporate failures, the wider range of risks under management, the special role of stakeholders (i.e., depositors) and the government intervention. To develop policy, the directions provided by the OECD Principles of Corporate Governance is a good reference, to be supplemented by knowledge of the function of corporate governance institutions and mechanisms.
