Corporate governance covers a large number of distinct concepts, legal systems and structures and processes that establishes best practices in the high-level direction and control of a corporation by the Board of Directors and Corporate Management.
The conduct and performance of Corporate Governance (CG) in the Philippines for publicly listed corporations is implemented under the Code of Corporate Governance promulgated by the Securities and Commission and related statues and rules set by the Philippine Stock Exchange. The CG system consists of coherent structures, processes and communication requirements that determine the broad powers and responsibilities of the Board of Directors (BOD) and its members in setting directions for the corporation; protecting shareholder rights; ensuring proper compliance of the corporate organization to the principles of accountability, transparency and fairness; and ensuring the installation of proper internal controls and risk management practices.
By virtue of the legal and regulatory framework provided to promote CG in listed corporations, safeguards and best

    Corporate Governance

    Strong corporate governance and transparency are critical for business success. For investors, good governance is a good indicator of wellmanaged, resilient businesses. For companies, a measure of success is the ability to internalise the values, spirit and purpose behind governance rules. While the governance standards in Singapore have brought us to where we are today, we have some way to go if we want to be seen as leaders in this area. Regulators, directors, management, investors, industry groups and professional bodies all have a part to play. The collective efforts of all these stakeholders will be needed to sustain the drive to improve governance and support the government’s vision of positioning Singapore as a global financial centre. This inaugural collection of teaching case studies aims to raise awareness and promote thoughtful discussions on key corporate governance issues in companies across several markets, particularly in Asia. The authors have endeavoured to present the facts and issues based on publicly-available information covering matters such as the board, board committees, ownership structure, corporate governance rules and regulations, auditors and remuneration. Following each case study are discussion questions which we hope will facilitate a robust exchange of views to help lead efforts to advance corporate governance standards and best practices in Singapore. We would like to thank Associate Professor Mak Yuen Teen for supervising and editing the case studies produced by students of the NUS Business School. We trust you will find the cases a good starting point to study governance issues that may be relevant to your professional roles. Deborah Ong FCPA (Aust.)

    Corporate governance refers to the rules, procedures, and administration of the firm’s contracts with its shareholders, creditors, employees, suppliers, customers, and sovereign governments. Governance is officially vested in a board of directors who have the duty to serve the interests of the corporation rather than their own interests or those of the firm’s management.

    Corporate governance involves a set of relationships amongst the company’s management, its board of directors, its shareholders, its auditors and other stakeholders. These relationships, which involve various rules and incentives, provide the structure through which the objectives of the company are set, and the means of attaining these objectives as well as monitoring performance are determined. Thus, the key aspects of good corporate governance include transparency of corporate structures and operations; the accountability of managers and the boards to shareholders; and corporate responsibility towards stakeholders.…
