Browse Hierarchy BUS334: Corporate Governance and Accountability

This module will commence with the evolution of corporate governance and its central focus on the risk management and agency gap, which theoretically and practically explores the differences between the demands of investors and behaviour of senior management. This narrow concept of corporate governance for 'investors' will be contrasted with a broader perspective which focuses on how to reconcile managerial interests with a wider group of stakeholders. Students will consider how corporate governance regulation and legislation has evolved and explore the differences between rules and principles-based systems of corporate governance.
