Download or read book Introduction to Corporate Governance in Australia written by Gregory E. P. Shailer and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 47 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the author comments in the Introduction to this book, Corporate Governance is currently a popular topic with regulators, investors, company directors and executives, commentators and academics but this is not just a recent phenomenon. While current interest may be largely a response to major cases of company failure and managerial misconduct, many of the basic issues involved were of concern when limited liability companies were first invented and have been revisited at other times in history. This text offers a very concise introduction to the principles of corporate governance for those wishing to understand the main issues affecting corporate governance in relation to publicly traded corporations. It provides a general overview of the origins and nature of this type of corporation, its stakeholders, the general principles of governance and how they apply to corporations and a brief discussion of Australian as well as international developments that affect Australian companies. The approach adopted in An Introduction to Corporate Governance in Australia emphasises understanding the nature of the entity being governed and how the general principles of governance apply to such an entity.

Download or read book Incentives for Non Disclosure by Corporate Groups written by Michael E. Bradbury and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 45 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A regulatory approved Deed of cross guarantee (the Deed), introduced into Australia in December 1991, exempts nominated companies (the closed group) from having to prepare, have audited, and file financial statements. We examine the characteristics of firms that obtain relief from filing (and therefore disclosure) of separate financial statements of closed group companies by adopting the Deed. The results support the view that the decision to adopt the Deed is a function of the accounting and auditing cost savings. There is also evidence that non-disclosure within corporate groups arises when firms are in a more competitive industry and, in particular, when there is ability to retain non-disclosure at the consolidated level (i.e. where the number of segments is high). Other factors supporting non-disclosure are leverage, the proportion of foreign operations (proxying for Deed complexity). We do not find the decision to adopt the Deed is associated with the proportion of outside directors (a proxy for legal liability), the number of shares outstanding (agency costs of equity). The paper adds to Verrecchia and Weber (2006) by using a unique Australian financial setting.

Download or read book Law Corporate Governance and Partnerships at Work written by Richard Mitchell and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-11-30 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines how businesses manage their labour systems, and particularly how they manage the complex interaction of factors which give rise to instances of 'partnership' style relations between businesses and their employees. The book draws from the literature concerning 'Varieties of Capitalism' (VoC) and the different institutional and regulatory designs inherent in different types of political economy. The book is informed by a new and extensive set of empirical data from Australia that examines the activities of national and multinational business corporations, their outlooks and relationships with stakeholders, and relates these to new and evolving theoretical frameworks based in political economy and law. The book places the Australian regulatory model within this international debate, and assesses the extent to which the system does or does not fit into the general categorisation created in the VoC literature.

Download or read book The Protection of Employee Entitlements in Insolvency written by Helen Anderson and published by Melbourne Univ. Publishing. This book was released on 2014-02-03 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Protection of Employee Entitlements in Insolvency: An Australian Perspective is the first detailed analysis of the law and policy dealing with employee entitlements such as wages, leave and redundancy payments that are threatened when companies fail. Although Australia has a government-funded safety-net scheme, currently known as the Fair Entitlements Guarantee, it doesn’t cover all lost entitlements for all workers. Some argue that the scheme removes any incentive for companies to make adequate provision for their employees’ entitlements, increasing the burden on the taxpayer. As well as investigating ways to safeguard the entitlements of employees that are presently lost through the improper behaviour of directors, The Protection of Employee Entitlements in Insolvency covers the history of Australia’s present system and comprehensively sets out the avenues available to assist employees to recover their entitlements. It also canvases what might be done in the future to improve the protection of employee entitlements in Australia when companies become insolvent.
Download or read book Pigs at the Trough written by Adam Schwab and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2010-09-16 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The past decade has seen a period of unparalleled growth in executive remuneration. But while CEO pay exploded, shareholders looked on helplessly as some of Australia's best-known companies self-destructed. When the fall eventually came, executives were well protected. Shareholders and creditors were not so lucky. From Telstra's enriching of Sol Trujillo to the toppling of Eddy Groves's ABC Learning Centres and the untold accounts of the billions lost by the collapsed Babcock & Brown, Allco Finance Group and MFS, Pigs at the Trough tells the story of how a generation of executives, under the supervision of well-known and respected non-executive directors, pushed all the boundaries and sometimes sailed right over them ... and got away with it. A pacey, irreverent read but with a devastatingly serious message, Pigs at the Trough gives investors invaluable insights into how to spot the telltale signs of impending corporate collapse, and how to avoid being another victim.
