A trust could guarantee shareholders a return and prevent losses, while making management answerable. It would give investors greater rights and encourage more investment in companies.

In India, the principles have been applied through regulations like Clause 49 of the Listing Agreement and the Companies Act of 2013. For corporations to fully adopt the OECD principles in India, they must embrace values of justice, truth, and harmony; act with fairness, integrity, and care toward stakeholders; and ensure good, reliable direction and governance of the company.

It also discusses the COSO framework that is widely used for IFC and provides a roadmap for implementing IFC including assessing current controls, developing a framework, implementing controls, monitoring and testing. Case studies of control failures at companies like Enron, Worldcom and Satyam are also summarized.
The document discusses internal audits conducted by companies of their own business operations. It states that internal audits are conducted professionally and objectively to provide management an unbiased view of company operations. They are often performed by outside agencies or privately hired internal auditors. Companies may have full internal audit staffs that continuously audit various operations. Auditors report to an audit committee overseen by the board of directors and make recommendations to management and the board. Most adjustments from internal audits relate to protecting employee privacy and sensitive intellectual property. All internal audits are announced while external audits may be unannounced. Affected departments are notified in writing before an internal audit and must provide requested documents.
The "Big 4" audit firms - PricewaterhouseCoopers, Ernst & Young, KPMG, and Deloitte - dominate the global financial audit market. While they audit most large multinational companies, concerns have been raised about risks to audit quality from a lack of competition. Some proposals to address this include mandatory audit firm rotation or increased regulatory oversight of the audit process. However, others argue this could increase costs for companies without necessarily improving quality. Overall, there is debate around how to strengthen independence and effectiveness within the concentrated global audit industry.

The document discusses issues with electronic voting machines and argues they should be moved away from. It provides reasons why electronic voting is wrong, noting electronic machines are prone to errors and hacking since many do not keep paper records of votes. They can also have outdated technology vulnerable to security risks. The document recommends finding an alternate voting method that is more precise and secure.
Combining Corporate Governance with Internal LeadershipDwayne Jorgensen
This document discusses corporate governance and internal leadership. It defines corporate governance as monitoring all stakeholders, including employees, to protect interests and ensure compliance. Good governance provides systems and processes to direct the company toward its goals while benefiting stakeholders. Ultimately, senior leaders and boards are responsible for governance, while employees must comply.
The document argues that combining strong corporate governance with internal leadership can revolutionize a company's competitive edge. Internal leadership focuses on strategically engaging and aligning all employees to help the business grow. When employees understand and are motivated to help the business, it can significantly reduce costs from issues like turnover and improve productivity and innovation.
This document discusses corporate compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and achieving an effective internal control environment based on the COSO framework. It argues that while many companies have focused on complying with specific SOX sections like 404, true compliance requires addressing the full depth of the "compliance iceberg" as defined by COSO. This includes controls for operations, compliance with other regulations, and unique organizational processes. It also emphasizes that compliance requires adhering to the spirit of establishing effective controls, not just the letter of satisfying individual SOX sections. Monitoring and separate evaluation are key to ensuring controls are properly implemented and maintained throughout an organization.
This document discusses the need for strong corporate governance following the passage of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. It summarizes the historical events that led to its passage, including the market crash of 1929 and subsequent legislation in the 1930s. However, it notes that human behavior continued to undermine corporate governance efforts over time. The document emphasizes the importance of understanding human nature and behavior within organizations in order to establish effective internal control frameworks and independent oversight of corporate activities.
This summary provides the key points from the document in 3 sentences:
Basel II compliance measures aim to strengthen risk management in banks but many are unprepared for the new regulations taking effect in 2006, with only 5% of large banks implementing components and costs expected to exceed $61 million. Experts recommend splitting compliance teams or breaking down silos to focus on routine processing separately from compliance strategies, and comparing current practices to the three pillars of Basel II to determine readiness. Risk management advocates argue for adopting a proactive approach rather than panic, noting opportunities to leverage existing risk management tools and compliance best practices from Sarbanes-Oxley to facilitate Basel II adoption.
The document discusses whether executives should fight or accept the Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) regulations. It argues that SOX itself is not the problem, but the regulations enacted by the SEC and PCAOB have caused massive costs for businesses. It advocates that executives should continue lobbying to revise the implementation rules, establish an independent agency to provide practical guidance, and reduce reliance on manual controls by using automated risk monitoring tools. The goal is to correct the power imbalance between management and auditors and lower the substantial costs businesses face from the current SOX regulations.
Sarbanes-Oxley's impact on the COSO cube is that it strengthened the five components of internal control - control environment, risk assessment, control activities, information and communication, and monitoring. Specifically, it increased requirements for documenting and testing internal controls, monitoring IT systems for issues, ensuring proper IT policies and procedures are in place, and establishing senior management's oversight of the internal control system.
The document proposes a continuous monitoring solution to reduce the high costs of Sarbanes-Oxley Section 404 compliance. It recommends building a system for perpetual governance monitoring using automation tools and ongoing testing to replace annual audits. A pyramid model is presented incorporating oversight, planning, software, and hardware components. A methodology is outlined involving assessing risks, documenting controls, testing processes, and reporting results. Benefits include reduced audit costs through one-time testing of automated controls versus repetitive tests of manual controls.
The PCAOB responded quickly to complaints about overly burdensome 404 audits by releasing new guidance and a Q&A to clarify that auditors should exercise judgment and make audits more risk-based and cost-efficient. It is unclear if the new guidance will significantly reduce costs as intended. While the PCAOB and auditors estimate a 46% reduction in compliance costs next year, some business groups were skeptical of that projection. The PCAOB addressed major complaints around areas like annual testing of automated controls and documentation requirements. Overall the changes aim to make audits less rigid and more tailored but opinions differ on how effective the changes will be.
Sarbanes-Oxley Section 404 requires companies to assess and report on the effectiveness of their internal controls. However, many companies have only addressed the requirements of Section 404 itself, which represents just the "tip of the compliance iceberg." To fully comply with the spirit of Sarbanes-Oxley, companies need to implement the integrated internal control framework as defined by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The COSO framework addresses five components of internal control - control environment, risk assessment, control activities, information and communication, and monitoring - that encompass controls over financial reporting as well as operational and compliance areas. Properly addressing all elements of the COSO framework
After Sarbanes-Oxley, companies must embrace strong internal control frameworks and the tenets of corporate governance. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 was passed in response to accounting scandals and aimed to increase transparency and accountability in financial reporting. However, it did not define the role of internal auditors in ensuring corporate governance goals. Repeated corporate failures show that voluntary guidelines are insufficient and that mandated internal control frameworks with independent governance are needed to prevent recurring issues stemming from human behaviors like greed, rationalization, and pride.
