Introduction

In the last decade we have witnessed the collapse of many large companies. Think of the issues that led to their demise – poor financial management, excessive risk taking, market manipulation and on occasion fraud. How did it happen? How can we prevent it from happening again?

Effective governance introduces controls to curb poor practices and ensure transparency. It stops individuals and groups taking over companies, and limits the likelihood of problems down the line.
