Corporate Governance

Companies, whether public, private or state owned, their directors and officers, their shareholders and the public are all affected by changes to corporate governance codes, company legislation and regulations. The fourth edition of Corporate Governance – now established as the leading South African work on the subject – will continue to inform on all aspects of corporate governance, while keeping readers up to date with the latest changes and developments. Key additions to the new edition are chapters on types of entities, and a comparison of local and international practice. The first edition of Corporate Governance was published in 2002 shortly after the publication of the 2002 King Report, to help explain the need for corporate governance in the private and public sectors and to provide South African executives and professionals with a practical framework to establish governance systems and practices in their own organisations. The book was revised and updated in 2005 and 2010.
