There is no corporate governance in HSBC or in HMRC, a tax agency that was in cahoots with keeping information secret from law enforcement agencies. The inside directors have kept secrets from outside directors, so they lacked the knowledge and involvement to give guidance to and monitor top management. Then to make matters worse, administrators and members of top management left without showing accountability for their actions. The board of directors is supposed to guide decisions in a responsible way that promotes corporate governance for the long-term success of a
