Book excerpt: Master's Thesis from the year 2016 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, , language: English, abstract: This evaluation of Corporate Governance practices at the Namibian Government Institutions Pension Fund (GIPF) is a qualitative single case study. The study utilized both primary and secondary data to answer the question whether GIPF was in compliance with the criteria relating to audit the committee, governance of risk as well internal audit functions as guided by the Namibia Code for Corporate Governance (NamCode). The study concluded that overall, the Government Institutions Pension Fund is indeed complying with the majority of the aspects assessed regarding requirements for audit The committee, governance of risks as well as internal audit functions. It appears that in some cases, the company complies with certain criteria how it is being documented may not be exactly how it is guided by the governance framework as stipulated in the NamCode. In most cases, where the study finds the company to be partially in compliance as opposed to full compliance, it is a question of the style used by the company in documenting how they are applying their corporate governance framework. Considering that only three out of nine principles of corporate were assessed; it is important to document that the survey only provide a snapshot of GIPF compliance to the governance framework and conclusions of this study cannot be taken as a complete view in any way. The study recommends that the company conform to the style of documenting their application of corporate governance principles to that of the governance framework provided for in NamCode. The adjustment is very important as it will help in ensuring consistency and standards especially when studies of this nature are to be conducted again. Finally, the study recommends that assessment of all nine principles of corporate governance be conducted preferably on an annual basis if GIPF is to keep in touch with the reality in as far as how they are doing regarding compliance.

This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tier 3 Public Enterprises in Namibia have been hampered by corporate governance problems and rely heavily on government financial injection to sustain their operations. PEs in Namibia continuously make losses. Thus, becoming a burden to the government. Poor corporate governance practices have been singled out as one of the major causes for the bad financial situation at tier 3 PEs. This study aimed to investigate the impact of corporate governance practices on the financial performance of tier 3 PEs, as their performance has a significant impact on the Namibian economy. Board size, board committees and board meetings were used as corporate governance measures. Financial performance was measured using the Return on Assets (ROA),using ROA as a financial measure is practical as it measures the profitability of PEs as a whole in relation to the assets employed. ROA is also referred to as the return on investment (ROI). A return on the investment made into these PEs by Government has to be measured. Thus, ROA was best suited to be used as a measure of financial performance for this study. The study applied a panel data analysis approach. The population consisted of all (10) tier 3 PEs, as per the Government Gazette of the Republic of Namibia dated 31 May 2013. Secondary data were only being collected for nine tier 3 PEs for the period of 2011 to 2018, as this was the period that all annual financial reports were available for all the tier 3 PEs. The data were captured using Microsoft Excel and thereafter transferred to SPSS where linear regression was used to analyse the relationship between the corporate governance and financial performance. The study revealed that there was statistical significance at a 0.05 level of significance between corporate governance practices and financial performance of tier 3 PEs and the study revealed board meetings and board size were positively correlated to financial performance and board committees had a negative relationship. The study recommended that tier 3 PEs invest in corporate governance to improve their financial performance. The study also recommended that adopting corporate governance should be made mandatory by law. Furthermore, based on the study findings policy makers are encouraged to increase the number of board meetings and board member at tier 3 PEs as it correlates positively with financial performance. However, it is recommended to reduce the number of board committees at tier 3 PEs.

With case studies from Egypt, Ghana, Nigeria, South Africa, Kenya and The Gambia the book presents a comprehensive view of North, East, West and South Africa with contributions from global experts in the field.

Download or read book Investigating the Compliance of the City of Windhoek to King IV Corporate Governance Principles from 2018 2020 written by Otniel Kakero and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Corporate Governance remains a serious challenge in Namibia, especially in the public sector organisations including local authorities. For best practices in corporate governance local authorities are guided by the Act No. 23 of 1992 on local authorities, NamCode and the South African King IV. However, despite having these instruments, the City of Windhoek seems to be experiencing challenges in complying with corporate governance. In particular, the City of Windhoek is failing to keep to corporate governance areas and attending to non-corporate issues, a practice which is undermining effective delivery of the council strategy. It is against this background that a qualitative descriptive study was conducted to investigate the City of Windhoek compliance with King IV municipal corporate governance principles. The study analysed a set of 36 council meeting agendas and minutes from 2018 t0 2020 to determine compliance to corporate governance business. The same analysis sought to establish the council board attention to non-corporate governance issues. Data from the council meetings minutes were analysed using content analysis. The study also interviewed five departmental heads to determine the extent to which the board is involved in non- corporate governance issues. Data from interviews was analysed using thematic data analysis. Findings from analysis of the council board agendas and minutes revealed that the City of Windhoek complies with King IV corporate governance principles which include policy making, strategic planning, risks planning and management, stakeholder engagement and management and supervision and monitoring the municipal business. The study also established that the City of Windhoek carries out the fiduciary responsibilities as guided by the Act No. 23 of 1992 on local authorities. However, the study established that the board over step into non corporate governance operations which are under department managers. Failure to observe separation of responsibilities was found to negatively affect the character of the board and creating conflict with operations management. Based on these findings, the study recommended the need for the City of Windhoek to revisit its responsibilities and as well analyse the clause on separation of responsibilities. In addition, the study recommended the City of Windhoek board to consider its engagement and communication strategy with the operations department so as to define the link between the two functions.

Download or read book A Manual on the Public Enterprises Governance Act in Namibia written by Ntelamo Ntelamo and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every ordinary citizen wants to see public enterprises succeed. Good governance requires upright and uncompromising leadership. To drive change in public enterprises, the best approaches should be tolerated to take root. Functionaries in public enterprises should not extend their powers beyond what the law approves of. It is astounding that persons whose duty it is to steer the success of institutions are themselves the ones who run them into the ground. This book engages with the text of Namibia's Public Enterprises Governance Act 1 of 2019 (PEGA). The objective of the PEGA is to provide for the efficient governance of public enterprises and the monitoring of their performance. A Manual on the Public Enterprises Governance Act in Namibia helpfully considers the policy context that led up to the PEGA and sheds light on the Act in a way that is easy to follow. The PEGA was preceded by a policy paper by the Ministry of Public Enterprises that expressed the perceived shortcomings of prior legislation governing public enterprises in Namibia. A proper governance model and accountability were identified as lacking. It was hoped that the PEGA would transform the governance of the country's public enterprises. However, the liquidation of Air Namibia in the era of the PEGA is testimony that the law has serious deficiencies, which this book helps to point out. A Manual on the Public Enterprises Governance Act in Namibia argues that the PEGA is inadequate to address governance challenges and recommends necessary reforms. The book will benefit lawyers, academics, students and researchers interested in the governance of public enterprises. It also will be useful to shareholders and boards of directors in public enterprises in Namibia and beyond. -- Back cover.

This book was released on 2019-03-27 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2018 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, Midlands State University, course: DEGREE OF MASTERS OF COMMERCE IN STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE, language: English, abstract: The focus of this research was to identify the challenges hindering the implementation of the Performance Management System in Ministry of Urban and Rural Development. This study adopted a 'mixed method approach', which utilises quantitative data supported by qualitative data. The target population of this study included Top management level (Director, Deputy Director), Middle Supervisory level (Supervisor/ Chief) and staff members at a non- supervisory level. Stratified sampling was used to divide the population in to 3 stratums. The study further used purposive sampling to draw a sample of 52 employees from the population of 272 staff members while the qualitative interviews involved 4 participants. Quantitative data was analysed using descriptive analysis run on SPSS. Results indicated that the PMS challenges that the Ministry of Urban and Rural Development is facing are as a result of lack of goal-setting, poor alignment of personal objectives with organisational goals, lack of communication and strong leadership, lack of trainings and personal development, lack monitoring, reviews and performance feedback, lack of change management initiatives and no reward for exceptional performance. Based on the findings, the researcher recommends that there should be improvement in communication, construction of employee's awareness; top performers should be rewarded; realistic and achievable goals must be set for employees; employees should be involved in settings of their performance targets and lastly the institution should allocate sufficient budget. Finally it is recommended that further research must be conducted in the rest of OMAs in order to validate findings of this study.
