*Description:*

*/Corporate Governance, Ethics and CSR/*is a new approach to these 
familiar topics, bringing together the three separate strands relevant 
to the new demands of organizational behaviour and reporting. Taylor and 
Simpson take a holistic approach to the complex issue of the role of the 
organization in society, taking into consideration the responsibilities 
of management and shareholders, the obligations an organization may have 
to its stakeholders and the ethical underpinning that has to be in place 
for any form of honest reporting. They look at the organization not only 
as a reporting entity complying with a set of rules but as a functioning 
part of the business environment.

This book demonstrates the realities of balancing socially responsible 
business with modern business practice in a diverse range of 
organizations, using case studies from both the private and public sector.

Over a decade ago, the Committee on the Financial Aspects of Corporate 
Governance chaired by Sir Adrian Cadbury described corporate governance 
as "the system by which companies are directed and controlled". In 
today’s world there are calls for improved integrity and oversight of 
management, greater use of internal and external audit functions, higher 
levels of disclosure and transparency and greater engagement with 
institutional investors.

A well-established corporate governance framework should ensure that 
corporate boards effectively monitor managerial performance and achieve 
an equitable return for shareholders – reinforcing the values of 
fairness, transparency, accountability and responsibility.

*/The Handbook of International Corporate Governance/*provides country 
specific insights to these issues and more. Each chapter informs the 
reader of the latest in terms of:

legal and regulatory frameworks

corporate structures and ownership

disclosure and transparency

shareholder rights and stakeholder relations

responsibilities of the board.

This book is essential reading for anyone with an interest in corporate 
governance who wishes to keep up-to-date with the many issues surrounding it
