| | Corporate governance - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Corporate governance issues are receiving greater attention in both developed and developing countries as a result of the increasing recognition that a firm’s corporate governance affects both its economic performance and its ability to access long-term, low-cost investment capital. | | | Corporate governance also includes the relationships among the many players involved (the stakeholders) and the goals for which the corporation is governed. | | | Corporate governance is the set of processes, customs, policies, laws and institutions affecting the way a corporation is directed, administered or controlled. |

| | What is corporate governance |
| | Corporate governance is the system by which business corporations are directed and controlled. | | | Corporate governance is a topic recently conceived, as yet ill-defined, and consequently blurred at the edges…corporate governance as a subject, as an objective, or as a regime to be followed for the good of shareholders, employees, customers, bankers and indeed for the reputation and standing of our nation and its economy” Maw et al. | | | Corporate governance has succeeded in attracting a good deal of public interest because of its apparent importance for the economic health of corporations and society in general. |

| | FRB: Speech, Greenspan -- Corporate governance -- March 26, 2002 |
| | On topics such as nonfinancial corporate governance, which is not in the Federal Reserve Board’s jurisdiction, I am obviously speaking for myself. | | | Regrettably, the current accounting for options has created some perverse effects on the quality of corporate disclosures that, arguably, is further complicating the evaluation of earnings and hence diminishing the effectiveness of published income statements in supporting good corporate governance. | | | Corporate governance has doubtless already measurably improved as a result of this greater market discipline in the wake of recent events. |

| | In the light of a series of corporate scandals during the 1980s and 1990s, including the Mirror Group pensions scandal, the issue of corporate governance was put under the spotlight in the UK. | | | As a result, directors have considerable power to act as they see fit, unlike a government that is restrained from certain actions by the people it governs. | | | This was followed by the Greenbury Report (1995) on directors' pay, the Hampel Report (1998) covering implementation of the Cadbury and Greenbury reports, and the Combined Code on Corporate Governance (1998) from the London Stock Exchange. |
