Synopsis :

The first of its kind, Nofsinger provides an overview of our corporate governance system in a flexible, modular format.

 

Today, the term “corporate governance” is familiar to almost everyone.  Unfortunately, its familiarity in our society comes about because of revelations of one shocking corporate scandal after another:  executives caught pilfering from their firms; accountants helping companies doctor their financial numbers; analysts irresponsibly hyping internet stocks.  Nofsingeris organized into chapters that discuss each corporate governance mechanism. Every chapter is organized in the same way, and each chapter is self-contained. Each chapter begins with a detailed overview of the monitor or monitoring mechanism, and then highlights potential problems.
