Corporate Governance & SOX Compliance

Corporate governance & SOX compliance are on everyone's lips. Corporate spokesmen, managers, politicians, management experts, financial analysts, etc. are all talking about it. The transparency of an organisation is very important for a number of reasons.

The view from the boardroom

Many board members are frustrated by their companies' excessive focus on short-term financial performance and would prefer to devote more time to long-term issues, such as strategy and leadership development, according to a McKinsey survey of more than 1,000 directors around the world. The survey also found that directors sometimes lack the information needed for sound decision making and may not understand the objectives and risks of their companies.
