Corporate governance is "the system by which companies are
directed and controlled". It involves regulatory and market
mechanisms, and the roles and relationships between a
company’s management, its board, its shareholders and other
stakeholders, and the goals for which the corporation is
governed. In contemporary business corporations, the main
external stakeholder groups are shareholders, debt holders,
trade creditors, suppliers, customers and communities affected
by the corporation's activities. Internal stakeholders are the
board of directors, executives, and other employees.

Corporate Failures - Causes and Remedies.pptxssuser07cba1
The Economic cost of business failure is relatively large, Government, providers of capital, as well as management and employees are severely affected. More critical are the reporting accountants who are likely to face potential litigation if their report failed to provide an early warning signal.
Apart from profit making objective, all corporate business concerns share one fundamental objective which is to remain as going concern.
As businesses strive hard to perpetuate, one of the most significant threats irrespective of their size and nature of operation is illiquidity and insolvency. Extant evidence shows that in past decades business failures have occurred in higher rates than at any time.
The disastrous and social effects of corporate failure makes it imperative for shareholders, creditors, government, etc. to continually monitor the operations of a corporate entity in order to avoid possible failure. The main focus of this presentation is to consider the causes and remedies of corporate failure.

this sector is doing well in different indicators. At the same time, a good number of banks and corporations

investors, where the absence of firm-level corporate governance was sharply identified. Keeping these into
consideration, this present study has been attempted

2. Introduction to the
Corporate Governance…
Corporate governance has become a well-discussed
and controversial topic in both the popular and
business press.
Newspapers produce detailed accounts of:
corporate fraud,
accounting scandals,
Insider trading,
excessive compensation,
other perceived organizational failures.
Many of them culminate in lawsuits, resignations, and
bankruptcy.
Central to these stories is the assumption that
somehow corporate governance is to blame.
3. Break down in Corporate
Governance… (Health South
Corp.)
Consider HealthSouth Corp., the once high-
flying healthcare service provider based in
Birmingham, Alabama.
CEO and other corporate officers were accused
of overstating earnings by at least $1.4 billion
between 1999 and 2002 to meet analyst
expectations
The CEO was paid a salary of $4.0 million,
awarded a cash bonus of $6.5 million, and
granted 1.2 million stock options during fiscal
2001, the year before the manipulation was
uncovered.
4. Continue…
• The CEO sold back 2.5 million shares to the
company—94 % of his total holdings—just weeks
before the firm revealed that regulatory changes
would significantly hurt earnings, causing the
company’s share price to fall.
Former Chief Financial Officer (CFO) and other
senior executives pleaded guilty to a scheme to
artificially increase financial results.
The CEO was found guilty of civil charges and
ordered to pay the company $2.88 billion in
compensation.
5. Here questions Arises…..
What was the board of directors doing during this
period?
The compensation committee met only once during 2001.
What was the external auditor (Ernst & Young) doing?
The audit committee met only once during 2001.10
The president and CFO both previously were employed as
auditors for Ernst & Young.
The company paid Ernst & Young $2.5 million in consulting
and other fees while also paying $1.2 million for auditing
services.
What were the analysts doing?
UBS analyst had a “strong buy” recommendation on
HealthSouth.
UBS earned $7 million in investment banking fees for
6. What were the results?
Interestingly, CEO was not convicted of
accounting manipulations in a criminal trial
brought by the U.S. Justice Department.
However, he was ordered to pay $2.9 billion in
a civil suit and, separately, was sentenced to
seven years in prison for bribing a former
Alabama governor.
7. What we conclude here?
As the case of HealthSouth illustrates, the
system of checks and balances meant to
prevent abuse by senior executives does not
always function properly.
Unfortunately, governance failures are not
isolated instances.
8. What is the root cause of these
failures?
Reports suggest that these companies
suffered from a “breakdown in corporate
governance.”
*Breakdown “the act of disrupting an established order so it fails to
continue”
9. Agency Problem & Agency
Cost…
A need for good governance arises when
separation exists between the ownership of a
company and its management, self-interested
executives have the opportunity to take actions
that benefit themselves.
This scenario is typically referred to as the
agency problem, while the costs resulting from
this problem described as agency costs.
Executives make investment, financing, and
operating decisions that better themselves at the
expense of other parties related to the firm.
10. Corporate Governance
To lessen agency costs, some type of control or
monitoring system is put in place in the
organization. That system of checks and
balances is called “corporate governance”
11. Broader Definition of CG..
It is the collection of control mechanisms
that an organization adopts to prevent
potentially self-interested managers from
engaging in activities detrimental to the
welfare of shareholders and stakeholders.
At a minimum, the monitoring system consists
of a board of directors to oversee management
and an external auditor to express an opinion
on the reliability of financial statements.
12. What theory says about
individuals?
Behavioral psychology and other social
sciences have provided evidence that
individuals are self-interested.
Individuals can take actions to benefit
themselves without detection and, therefore,
avoid the cost of punishment.
13. Moral Salience
It is important to highlight that individuals are not
always uniformly and completely self interested.
Many people exhibit self-restraint on moral
grounds.
Not all employees who are unobserved in front of
an open cash box will steal from it.
Not all executives knowingly make decisions that
better themselves at the expense of shareholders.
This is known as moral salience, the knowledge
that certain actions are inherently wrong even if
they are undetected and left unpunished.
14. Continue…
Individuals exhibit varying degrees of moral
salience, depending on their
personality
religious convictions
personal and financial circumstances
Moral salience also depends on the company
involved, the country of business, and the cultural
norms.
15. Governance systems
are influenced by a broader group
At a minimum, the monitoring system consists of a board of directors to
oversee management and an external auditor to express an opinion on
the reliability of financial statements.
16. Do remember…
The structure of the governance system also depends on the
fundamental orientation of the firm and the role that the firm
plays in society.
shareholder perspective
effective corporate governance should increase the value of equity
holders by better aligning incentives between management and
shareholders.
stakeholder perspective
effective governance should support policies that produce stable and
safe employment, provide an acceptable standard of living to
workers, mitigate risk for debt holders, and improve the community
and environment.
Obviously, the governance system that maximizes
shareholder value might not be the same as the one that
maximizes stakeholder value.
17. External forces
A broad set of external forces that vary across
nations also influence the structure of the
governance system including:
local capital markets,
legal tradition,
reliability of accounting standards,
regulatory enforcement,
Cultural values
Their relative effectiveness determines the
extent to which additional monitoring
mechanisms are required.
18. Continue…
Any system of corporate governance involves third
parties that are linked with the company but do not
have a direct ownership stake. These include:
regulators (such as the SEC),
politicians,
external auditor,
security analysts,
external legal counsel,
Employees and unions,
proxy advisory firms,
customers,
Suppliers,
19. Corporate Governance
Standards
There are no universally agreed-upon standards that
determine good governance. But in 1992 a British
committee revealed a “Code of best practices” which
provides a benchmark set of recommendation on
governance.
separating the chairman and chief executive officer titles,
appointing independent directors,
reducing conflicts of interest at the board level because of
business or other relationships,
convening an independent audit committee
reviewing the effectiveness of the company’s internal
controls
One of the most important pieces of formal legislation
relating to governance is the Sarbanes–Oxley Act of
2002 (SOX).
20. Changes in business complicates
identification of uniform standards.
Some recent trends include
the increased prominence of private equity,
activist investors,
and proxy advisory firms in the governance
space.
21. Relationship between Corporate
Governance and Firm Performance
According to a 2002 survey by McKinsey & Company,
nearly 80 percent of institutional investors responded
that they would pay a premium for a well-governed
company.
The size of the premium varied by market, ranging
from 11 percent for a company in Canada to around
40 percent for a company in Morocco, Egypt, or
Russia.
These results imply that investors perceive well-
governed companies to be better investments than
poorly governed companies.
They are also consistent with the idea that
governance systems are more important in certain
countries than in others.
