What does Corporate Governance mean in the post Steinhoff-collapse era in South Africa? It has become more important than ever, and this established work by top directors, accountants and lawyers is an essential handbook for all Company Directors, their advisers, and those who have aspirations to be business leaders.

Companies, whether public, private or state owned, their directors and officers, their shareholders and the public are all affected by new and sweeping changes to corporate governance codes, company legislation and regulations.

A new & significantly expanded edition of this leading reference on Corporate Governance in South Africa, this book incorporates a new and comprehensive Summary of the King IV code, as well updated examples and current thinking on an increasingly important sphere.

Companies, whether public, private or state owned, their directors and officers, their shareholders and the public are all affected by changes to corporate governance codes, company legislation and regulations. The fourth edition of Corporate Governance – now established as the leading South African work on the subject – will continue to inform on all aspects of corporate governance, while keeping readers up to date with the latest changes and developments. Key additions to the new edition are chapters on types of entities, and a comparison of local and international practice. The first edition of Corporate Governance was published in 2002 shortly after the publication of the 2002 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. The book was revised and updated in 2005 and 2010.
