other stakeholder.
Contributes to the efficiency of the business
enterprise.

LIVE EXAMPLES:
. Corporate scandals of various forms have maintained
public and political interest in the regulation of
corporate governance. In the U.S., these include
Enron Corporation and MCI Inc. (formerly WorldCom).
Their demise is associated with the
U.S. federal government passing the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act in 2002, intending to restore public
confidence in corporate governance.
Comparable failures in Australia (HIH, One.Tel) are
associated with the eventual passage of the CLERP 9
reforms.
Similar corporate failures in other countries stimulated
increased regulatory interest (e.g., Parmalat in Italy).
Initiatives are being taken to (i) account for ESOPs, (ii) further
increase disclosures, and (iii) put in place systems that can further
strengthen auditors independence.

Non-mandatory
recommendations included:
moving to a regime where corporate
financial statements are not
qualified;
instituting a system of training of
board members; and
evaluation of performance of board
members.
CONCLUSION:
There are several corporate governance structures
available in the developed world but there is no one
structure, which can be singled out as being better than
the others. There is no "one size fits all" structure for
corporate governance. The Committees
recommendations are not therefore based on any one
model but are designed for the Indian environment.
Corporate governance extends beyond corporate law.
