Details

Instruments of EU Corporate Governance is a first-of-its-kind analysing the systematic account of the legislative and soft law instruments designed to boost good corporate governance in European companies and assess their value in practice. Compelling new perspectives on corporate governance – including attention to increased shareholder engagement, long-term value creation, and sustainability – have effected major changes in the management of companies. These corporate governance instruments have developed over time and are still evolving.

What’s in this book:

Nineteen prominent scholars of business and corporate law probe into how the following issues and topics are tackled across the span of corporate governance instruments available in Europe:

corporate codes of conduct
procedural rules regulating how directors make decisions
rules on board composition and remuneration
regulating boards in small- and medium-sized enterprises
public enforcement of directors’ duties
how digitalisation may affect implementation of corporate governance instruments
reporting rules
rules on the empowerment of minority shareholders
the role of the general meeting
regulation of the market for corporate control
certifications
rules on liability of directors, and
role of auditors and accountants

How this will help you:

Delving deep into the benefits and potential drawbacks of each instrument and what may be accomplished both at the company level and generally, this book will be highly appreciated by all concerned with promoting responsible corporate governance, whether in business, government, or academia.
