Download or read book Corporate Rescue Law an Anglo American Perspective written by Gerard McCormack and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2008-01-01 with total page 331 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: . . . a highly readable and informative text and an excellent addition to insolvency scholarship. . . In their entirety, the chapters of Corporate Rescue Law An Anglo-American Perspective represent one of the most incisive and relevant treatments of comparative insolvency regimes to date. . . This book is an absolute boon: it provides the reader with a mass of legal and practical insights into the workings of two ostensibly divergent systems and challenges received wisdom in a fluent and persuasive manner. Not only are legal differences examined through the lens of practice, but also commercial, philosophical and social responses to failure are considered and highlighted as possible drivers of those real distinctions that do exist. Professor McCormack has produced an exceptional work that should be required reading for academics, practitioners and policy makers alike, and is to be warmly congratulated. Sandra Frisby, Banking and Finance Law Review The issues are well chosen. They are easily the most important aspects of any corporate rescue law. The careful analysis of the technical provisions, the incorporation of the extensive scholarship on the two corporate rescue regimes and the reference to practice in the real world all help to make these chapters an indispensable tool for any scholar wishing to gain a better understanding of the similarities and differences of English and American corporate rescue laws. . . This monograph could not have come at a better time. . . The comparative account in this book will help law reformers, judges and scholars to have a better grasp of the issues and appreciate better how the two systems have dealt with them. . . Comparative law has a critical role to play in promoting mutual understanding and respect. It is hoped that this monograph will help in that respect. Wee Meng Seng, Singapore Journal of Legal Studies This book offers an unprecedented and detailed comparative critique of Anglo-American corporate bankruptcy law. It challenges the standard characterisation that US law in the sphere of corporate bankruptcy is pro-debtor and UK law is pro-creditor , and suggests that the traditional thesis is, at best, a potentially misleading over-simplification. Gerard McCormack offers the conclusion that there is functional convergence in practice, while acknowledging that corporate rescue, as distinct from business rescue, still plays a larger role in the US. The focus is on corporate restructurings with in-depth scrutiny of Chapter 11 of the US Bankruptcy Code and the UK Enterprise Act, and offers other comparative oversights. Integrating theoretical and practical insights, this book will be of great interest to academics and practitioners, and also to policymakers in the DTI, Insolvency Service and regulatory bodies.

Download or read book New Companies Act Unlocked written by Carl Stein and published by Siber Ink. This book was released on 2011-10-15 with total page 511 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From 1 May 2011 company law in South Africa was dramatically altered: the 1973 Act which had governed companies for the life-times of most business people and lawyers in South Africa was replaced by the Companies Act of 2008, as amended in March 2011. A new era of company law dawned, and with it a host of new concepts, rights, remedies, obligations, procedures and sanctions were introduced. These fundamentally affect the way that every business operates and the advice and practice of every lawyer, accountant or other professional adviser. This book, the first to cover the new Act and the new regulations, provides the hand-holding, the insight, and the understanding that business and their advisers require in order not to be wrong-footed by the new regime.

Download or read book Beyond Play written by Dawn Pretorius and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2014-04 with total page 450 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a lot of information available on governance, risk and compliance as separate subjects but little on the interrelation between the three components known in the industry as enterprise-wide governance, risk and compliance (eGRC). This book brings eGRC to the reader in a way that starts with simple concepts and builds on them to provide insight and a practical guide for a holistic approach to eGRC. Companies have to manage risk in order to remain a sustainable force in the marketplace. Efforts to reduce risk can, unintentionally, be uncoordinated, disjointed or even neglected. Through not implementing a more cohesive and systematic approach to managing risk, opportunities to benefit the company can also be missed. Beyond Play offers a practical and simple approach. Compliance is a very specific form of risk: that of complying with the law, but the role of the compliance officer includes a lot more. Working with the law and regulators and applying a compliance methodology are explained to provide value to learners, compliance officers, managers, prescribed officers and directors. Many companies 'play' at corporate governance, probably because it is perceived as being 'too big' to grasp. This book will change your thinking and will help directors' pave the way for implementing a framework that can be worked with on a practical level within an enterprise wide risk management context. the systemic nature of risk means it can spread to customers, shareholders, communities and economies as the credit bubble of 2008 has proved. Equally, a company that applies a robust an intelligent approach to eGRC has a positive influence on the marketplace, the community and a nation. Do you believe that your business, whether for profit or not for profit and on the basis on which it currently operates, is sustainable in an increasingly dynamic world? This book uses examples from the financial services industry; it also makes reference to South African legislation and governance codes. These references do, however, focus on international best practices so the methodologies can be universally applied. Governance, risk and compliance is an integrated concept to be incorporated within an enterprise risk framework which helps an organisation, either private or public, for profit or non profit, to direct its strategies and operations with integrity and within the law; the reason being to achieve its goals in such a way that its stakeholders and the economy as a whole are never compromised or put at risk beyond that which has been carefully defined and deemed acceptable.
