UNIVERSAL CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STANDARDS: RECOMMENDATIONS FOLLOWING THE GLOBAL FINANCIAL CRISIS
Download This Article
Ronald Henry Mynhardt 
Abstract
Corporate governance can be defined as: the set of processes, customs, policies, laws and institutions affecting the way a company is directed, administered or controlled. Suggestions were investigated that the global financial crisis revealed severe shortcomings in corporate governance. Research was conducted to establish whether these suggestions are accurate. The study found that it appeared that corporate governance has failed and action needs to be taken. The study recommends that a world supervisory body on corporate governance be established. It also proposes that a summit be called to discuss and create such an authority. In addition, the formulation of a set of universal corporate governance standards for implementation by the members was suggested.
