With the expansion of technology and governance, the information governance industry has experienced dramatic and often, sudden changes. Among the most important shifts are the proliferation of data privacy rules and regulations, the exponential growth of data and the need for removing redundant, obsolete, and trivial information and the growing threat of litigation and regulatory fines based on a failure to properly keep records and manage data. At the same time, longstanding information governance standards and best practices exist, which transcend the sudden vicissitudes of the day.This volume focuses on these core IG principles, with an emphasis on how they apply to our target audience, which includes law librarians, legal and research staff and other individuals and departments in both the public and private sectors who engage deeply with regulatory compliance matters. Core topics that will be addressed include: the importance of implementing and maintaining cohesive records management workflows that implement the classic principles of capturing, checking, recording, consolidation, and review; the classic records management principles of Accountability, Transparency, Integrity, Protection, Compliance, Accessibility, Retention and Disposition; and archives Management and the two principles of Providence and Original Order.

Die Insolvenz des Zahlungsdienstleisters Wirecard hat den Finanzplatz Deutschland erschuttert. In diesem in der deutschen Wirtschaftsgeschichte bislang beispiellosen Skandalfall kommen alle Facetten von Bilanzbetrug, Lobbyismus sowie unternehmerischem und aufsichtsrechtlichen Versagen in einem Stoff zum Vorschein. Der Gesetzgeber hat mit dem FISG erste Antworten geben, um weiteren Schaden vom hiesigen Finanzplatz abzuwenden. Auch wenn viele Reformen zu begrussen sind, sollte primar eine grundliche evidenzbasierte Aufarbeitung das Fundament fur eine Lex Wirecrd legen. Schliesslich mangelte es bei nuchterner Betrachtung im Zeitpunkt der Aufdeckung des Bilanzbetrugs nicht vornehmlich an gesetzlichen Sicherheitsmechanismen - vor allem in Form eines Aufsichtsrates und eines externen Abschlussprufers. Und dennoch erwiesen sich rund 1,9 Mrd. EUR in Gestalt angeblicher Guthaben auf Treuhandkonten als Luftnummer. Daher hat sich ein interdisziplinares Team bestehend aus renommierten Wissenschaftlern und Praxisvertretern zum Ziel gesetzt, den Zusammenbruch dieses vormals im DAX30 gelisteten Technologieunternehmens aus verschiedenen fachlichen Perspektiven wissenschaftlich-fundiert kritisch zu beleuchten, nach wie vor bestehende Regulierungsdefizite aufzudecken und/oder Handlungsempfehlungen auszusprechen. In diesem Sammelband geht es somit darum, die "richtigen" oder noch nicht adressierte Fragen zu stellen. Denn das FISG hat nicht einen Schlussstrich unter die Diskussion um sinnvolle Massnahmen zur Verbesserung von Bilanzkontrolle, Abschlussprufung und Corporate Governance gezogen, sondern diese Diskussion weiter entfacht.

Digital transformation is reshaping the business arena as new, successful digital business models are increasing agility and presenting better ways to handle business than the traditional alternatives. Industry 4.0 affects everything in our daily lives and is blurring the line between the physical, the biological, and the digital. This created an environment where technology and humans are so closely integrated that it is impacting every activity within the organizations. Specifically, contracting processes and procedures are challenged to align with the new business dynamics as traditional contracts are no longer fitting today's agile and continuously changing environments. Businesses are required to facilitate faster, more secure, soft, and real-time transactions while protecting stakeholders' rights and obligations. This includes agile contracts which are dynamically handling scope changes, smart contracts that can automate rule-based functions, friction-less contracts that can facilitate different activities, and opportunity contracts that looks toward the future. Innovative and Agile Contracting for Digital Transformation and Industry 4.0 analyzes the consequences, benefits, and possible scenarios of contract transformation under the pressure of new technologies and business dynamics in modern times. The chapters cover the problems, issues, complications, strategies, governance, and risks related to the development and enforcement of digital transformation contracting practices. While highlighting topics in the area of digital transformation and contracting such as artificial intelligence, digital business, emerging technologies, and blockchain, this book is ideally intended for business, engineering, and technology practitioners and policy makers, along with practitioners, stakeholders, researchers, academicians, and students interested in understanding the scope, complexity, and importance of innovative contracts and agile contracting.

Family businesses and wealth owners today face a wide range of challenges, including increasing government interventionism, business disruption, technology-driven change, international conflicts and the climate crisis. Added to this is the move to greater transparency of the midshore and onshore world and the implementation of the Common Reporting Standard, the increased scrutiny of wealth owners by governments and the media, and the pandemic underscoring the need to apply more sustainable business practices, all of which complicates the processes of creating, retaining and transitioning wealth. How can the rising next generation make sense of and adapt to this complex world?

Business organizations have recently been encouraged by investors, regulators, and communities to define their purposes, values, and fiduciary duties of creating shared value for all stakeholders. Public companies have traditionally operated under the corporate model of "shareholder primacy" with the primary purpose of generating returns for shareholders and thus corporate activities are managed toward creating shareholder value. The stakeholder primacy system encourages directors and executives to focus on managing corporate activities toward creating shared value for all stakeholders. The role of the board of directors under stakeholder primacy/capitalism as opposed to shareholder primacy/capitalism is to oversee the managerial function of focusing on the long-term sustainability performance, effectively communicating sustainability performance information to all stakeholders. A shift away from the shareholder primacy model and toward the stakeholder primacy model has been gaining momentum worldwide in recent years as investors demand, regulators require, and companies define the "profit-with-purpose" mission in creating shares value for all stakeholders. This book offers guidance to organizations for considering both shareholder primacy and stakeholder primacy in defining their mission of "profit-with-purpose" and in creating shared value for all stakeholders. It also highlights how people, business and resources collaborate in a business sustainability and the stakeholder primacy model in creating shared value for all stakeholders. Anyone who is involved with business sustainability and corporate governance, the financial reporting process, investment decisions, legal and financial advising, audit functions, and corporate governance education including directors, executives, investors, and auditor will be interested in this book.

Amid the ongoing crisis surrounding the WTO, China's role and behaviour in the multilateral trading system has attracted overwhelming attention. This timely monograph provides the first comprehensive and systemic analysis of China's compliance with the rulings of the WTO's dispute settlement mechanism (DSM). It covers all the disputes in which China has been a respondent during its 17-year WTO membership and offers a detailed discussion of China's implementation of adverse WTO rulings, its approaches to settling WTO disputes, the possible explanations for such approaches, and post-compliance issues. The book shows how China has utilised the limitations and flexibilities of WTO rulings to ensure that its implementation of the rulings not only delivers adequate compliance but also maintains its own interests. Overall, this book argues that the issues relating to the quality of China's compliance and post-compliance practices concern the loopholes within the DSM itself which may be utilised by all WTO Members. However, despite the loopholes, China's record of compliance suggests that the DSM has been largely effective in inducing compliance and influencing domestic policy-making. It is therefore in the interest of all WTO Members and other stakeholders to protect the DSM as the 'crown jewel' of the multilateral trading system.
