Book Description
The worldwide mushrooming of codes of corporate governance has resulted in a formalisation of rules and norms. These rules and norms have undeniably been proven to be important constituents in shaping the present corporate governance structures across the globe. The 2010 Code of best practices for corporate governance issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission of Ghana is an archetypical of such codes. It is irrefutably the most encyclopaedic guideline for good corporate governance practices presently in Ghana. It contains overarching provisions for effective corporate governance practices in Ghana. This paper presents a painstaking review of the code. It first examines key properties of the code. Next, the main deficiencies of the code are illuminated by examining the provisions that lack clarity. Also, other unqualified derelictions, substandard provisions and common gaffes in the code are highlighted. It then makes suggestions with the idea that they would be taken into consideration if future remediation of the code is to be undertaken.

Pages : 276
Book Description
Using a range of case-studies, this book analyzes corporate governance relationships between several African countries and the international community, providing an ethical assessment of issues surrounding globalization and adherence to external governance mechanisms. Employing a methodological approach, Corporate Governance in Africa critiques occidental perspectives of corporate governance in relation to the needs of separate states, and the contradictions that arise when local cultures are not taken in to consideration. With case studies from Egypt, Ghana, Nigeria, South Africa, Kenya and The Gambia the book presents a comprehensive view of North, East, West and South Africa with contributions from global experts in the field. The authors critique the transformations deemed necessary for governance procedures in order to facilitate confidence and inward investment for these African states.

Corporate governance is a concept that involves practices of organizational management and control. It involves balancing the interests of people who provide resources to the company and contribute to its performance such as the shareholders, creditors, employees and suppliers. Studies have shown that companies that have adopted the concept of corporate governance tend to display great performance. Thus, corporate governance is increasingly being recognized as one of the important aspect of ensuring effective and efficient corporate development.This paper examines the general recognition of the Code of Corporate Governance in Ghana by considering the level of compliance and the factors that affect compliance. This paper will reflect on the provisions of the Code which are more or less complied with, the causes of non-compliance with the code and some ways of enhancing effective corporate governance in Ghana.The standards for corporate governance in Ghana are regulated by the Listing Regulations 1990 (L.I 1,509) of Ghana Stock Exchange (GSE), the Security Industry Laws 1993 (PNDCL 333) as amended by the Securities Industry Act, 2000 (Act 590) and the Companies Code 1963 (Act 179). These statutes provides shareholders' rights and regulatory framework for operations of corporate organizations in corporate governance practices. Some companies have adopted the principles of corporate governance which is based on transparency, accountability, fairness, legality and integrity. Also, a few companies have made their Annual Reports comprehensive enough to attract various stakeholders.Corporate governance is an essential part of business management and as such, management should be encouraged to comply with the code of corporate governance for the benefit of the organization at large.

Book Description
Corporate Governance (Fourth Edition) continues to inform on all aspects of corporate governance, while keeping readers up to date with the latest developments. It is now established as the leading South African work on the subject. The past five years since publication of the third edition has seen a number of changes in the application of corporate governance in South Africa and beyond. Locally, we have seen the application of the 2008 Companies Act, and in the United Kingdom, a new Corporate Governance Code has been introduced. Significant developments have taken place in the area of corporate reporting, via the appearance of an International Integrated Reporting Framework, widening the scope of the traditional annual report. The Fourth Edition deals with these changes. Key additions are chapters on types of entities, and a comparison of local and international practice. Corporate Governance was first published in 2002 shortly after the publication of the original 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.
