Corporate Governance: Codification or Self-Regulation?

More about the book

The significance of the stock market has surged, with many individuals investing for retirement. To combat executive abuses in publicly owned companies, New Zealand established the Securities Commission (SEC) as an independent entity. The thesis explores the impact of global scandals, particularly the Enron case, on investor trust and corporate governance. It highlights the resulting decline in shareholder confidence and the urgent need for effective measures to uphold business ethics and legal standards in the face of white-collar crime.
