This shortform textbook, a concise overview of the development and
current state of corporate governance, provides a critical
narrative on the field. Beginning with insightful historical
background, the author shows how value-adding corporate governance
involves more than unthinking compliance to a recitation of
statutes, regulations and principles, devoid of context. Features
include basic definitions, reviews of theoretical governance
problems, and a worldwide review of current governance provisions
along with more detail on the UK situation. Revealing the geology
of governance in the business world, the book highlights its
progress set into a framework of regulation and law. This textbook
provides a brief, authoritative summary of the field for two core
audiences: as a reference for specialist readers, and as an concise
introduction for non-specialist readers.

Understanding and Interpreting Accounts is designed for those with
no formal training in accounting who need to know what company
accounts can reveal. Using non-technical terms to explain the
concepts, it identifies the links between individual parts of the
accounts in order to facilitate the analysis and prediction of
company performance. The reader will rapidly gain sufficient
understanding of the information held in the accounts for the
purposes of commercial credit analysis, investment planning,
business forecasting, managing a business, and many other similar
activities. It is the product of many years' experience in teaching
the interpretation of accounts to students on MBA courses with no
previous background in accounting. Its simple but thorough approach
will be of value to anyone - student, professional, manager or
investor -- who needs a basic introduction to analysing accounts
and the process of mining them for practical information.
Theory and Practice of Corporate Governance explains how the real
world of corporate governance works. It offers new definitions of
governance and new conceptual models for investigating governance
and corporate behaviour, based on both practical experience and
academic investigation. In examining the historical development of
corporate governance, it integrates issues of company law,
regulatory practice and company administration with contemporary
corporate governance policies and structures. An extensive range of
international examples, both recent and historical, is used to
compare theoretical explanations of governance behaviour with
practical outcomes. This book will be particularly suitable for
students taking an ICSA-accredited course - giving a necessary
critical view on governance, law and regulation - and will also be
suitable for accountancy courses. Through utilising new conceptual
models, it will stimulate debate among both theorists and
practitioners looking to develop their expertise.
