Subject 3. Corporate Governance Risks and Benefits PDF Download
Weak corporate governance, unmanaged conflicts of interest, or inadequate stakeholder management can place firms at a competitive disadvantage. From a corporation's perspective, risks of poor governance include:
- weak control systems or inefficient monitoring tools;
- ineffective decision making;
- legal, regulatory, and reputational risks;
- default and bankruptcy risks.
Benefits of effective governance and stakeholder management include:
- better operational efficiency and control brought by effective monitoring tools and control mechanisms;
- better operating and financial performance;
- lower default risk and cost of debt.
