Governing the Corporation is a unique forum combining the insights of some
of the most influential minds involved in the governance of global financial markets
with internationally recognised academics and practitioners.
Divided into three sections, the book first examines changes to the regulation
of markets and assesses the global implications of the export of Sarbanes-Oxley for
financial sector governance. The second section examines the challenges facing the
professions with critical analysis from leading lawyers and accountants. The final section
calculates the effectiveness of state and self-regulatory policy and posits the importance
of institutionalising an ethical framework tied to incentives. Each section of the
book features contributions from regulators, practitioners and academics from a range of
disciplines, including finance, political science, criminology, law and philosophy.
