Book Description
Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are increasingly seen as playing an important role in the economies of many countries. Thus, governments throughout the world focus on the development of the SME sector to promote economic growth. However, SMEs suffer from a high failure rate. The adoption of corporate governance is one of the factors that can help to improve the performance and reduce the high failure rate of SMEs in South Africa. The primary objective of this study was to establish the adoption of corporate governance principles by small and medium enterprises (SMEs). In addition, the study investigated the barriers to the adoption of corporate governance by SMEs. Principles adopted from the King 111 report were used to measure the corporate governance of SMEs. Four principles were used by this study to measure the adoption of corporate governance by SMEs. These were (1) Management of risk: this included accounting measures, control system and risk management. (2) Use of information technology. (3) Responsible and ethical leadership and (4) Compliance with applicable laws and rules. The study area was Tshwane Central Business District.

Corporate Governance for Small and Medium-Sized Businesses in African Economies
Author: Dr. Chinyere Almona
Publisher: AuthorHouse
ISBN: 1728373158
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 182
Book Description
SMEs play a vital role in the growth of economies and are often described as the engine of economic development. However, SMEs in emerging markets struggle to survive and grow for a variety of reasons, including a lack of finance and management skills. Most of the growth-constraining factors in small businesses can be traced to weak corporate governance (CG) practices. As a seasoned practitioner in the field of corporate governance, Dr. Almona sees the need to build capacity to enhance sustainability in the SME sector. SMEs need to understand that CG is not a destination but a journey SMEs need to grow and mature into CG practices that are relevant to their stage of business. SME owner-managers need to understand and adapt to the level of formality expected and required by potential employees and providers of funds. This book provides ways and models that will encourage the adoption of sound corporate governance principles and practices for SMEs in Africa, to the benefit of society.

Corporate Governance
Author: Tom Wixley
Publisher: Siber Ink
ISBN: 1920025820
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 354
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.

This paper also throws a light on various reasons which prevent the SMEs in implementing governance practices and some suggestive measures to make the implementation process successful.
