The recent global economic crisis has highlighted the importance of
strong corporate governance systems. The failure of many of the
'gatekeepers' (i.e. auditors) to protect the efficiency of the
financial markets has left many wondering whether there exists a
sound model of corporate governance and if so, what the features of
such a model are.
"The International Corporate Governance System: Audit Roles and
Board Oversight" provides a comprehensive legal, economic and
financial approach to corporate governance. It addresses the
practical aspects of corporate governance, auditing and risk
management whether within principles-based regulatory approach or
the rules-based approach. Starting with the OECD principles, their
application by both the IMF and the World Bank, the book analyzes
and compares corporate governance systems in the US, the UK,
Canada, Australasia, Japan, Continental Europe, the BRICS, Saudi
Arabia. The book moves on to analyze the audit roles and
legislations in the US (SOX Act), the EU Statutory Audit Directive,
the ROSC, the Audit Scandals, the auditors' liabilities, and the
future of auditing. Finally, the author provides comprehensive
coverage of the board oversight function, the management fraud
types and the role of the audit committee.
"The International Corporate Governance System" is geared to a
large public of lawyers, economists, financiers, and accountants
who want to enhance their knowledge and skills in this
interdisciplinary field. Business school students, law graduates,
economics graduates will learn how law and regulation affect
management practices, strategies and aims. Likewise, government
officials, risk managers, chief financial officers, chief operating
officers in charge of supervision and enforcement of laws and
regulations will find a guide in their difficult environment.
