Within corporate governance the accountability of the board of
directors is identified as a major issue by governments,
international bodies, professional associations and academic
literature. Boards are given significant power in companies, and as
a consequence it is argued that they should be accountable for
their actions. Drawing on political science, public administration,
accounting, and ethics literature, this book examines the concept
of accountability and its meaning in the corporate governance
context. It examines the rationale for making boards accountable,
and outlines the obstacles and drawbacks involved in providing for
accountability. The book goes on to examine how current mechanisms
for ensuring accountability are assessed in terms of fairness,
justice, transparency, practicality, effectiveness and efficiency,
before discussing the ways that accountability might be improved.
Andrew Keay argues that enhanced accountability can provide better
corporate governance, helping to reduce the frequency and severity
of financial crises, and improve confidence in company practice. As
an in depth study of a key element within the exercise of authority
and management in corporate entities, this book will be of great
use and interest to researchers and students of corporate
governance, business and management, and corporate social
responsibility.
