It can take time for directors and managers of listed
companies to gain an understanding of the UK approach to corporate governance.
They are expected to appreciate issues like the conflicts that arise between the
interests of management and shareholders, how a unitary board functions and the
general view of institutional shareholders on how corporate social
responsibility issues should integrated into the company’s processes.
The presentation explains some of the concepts around
Corporate Governance then moves on to give an overview of the Corporate
Governance Framework for UK Listed Companies. This includes an overview of the
main areas of the UK Combined Code. The Code is a key source of governance
regulation for main market listed companies and many companies listed on AIM. |
