520			_aOver a decade ago, the Committee on the Financial Aspects of Corporate Governance chaired by Sir Adrian Cadbury described corporate governance as "the system by which companies are directed and controlled". In today s world there are calls for improved integrity and oversight of management, greater use of internal and external audit functions, higher levels of disclosure and transparency and greater engagement with institutional investors. A well-established corporate governance framework should ensure that corporate boards effectively monitor managerial performance and achieve an equitable return for shareholders reinforcing the values of fairness, transparency, accountability and responsibility. The Handbook of International Corporate Governance provides country specific insights to these issues and more. Each chapter informs the reader of the latest in terms of legal and regulatory frameworks corporate structures and ownership disclosure and transparency shareholder rights and stakeholder relations responsibilities of the board. This book is essential reading for anyone with an interest in corporate governance who wishes to keep up-to-date with the many issues surrounding it
