| Title: | Boards that work - information flow is the key | Authors: | Brennan, Niamh | Permanent link: | http://hdl.handle.net/10197/5408 | Date: | 7-Apr-2010 | Online since: | 2014-02-20T15:45:03Z | Abstract: | There is circumstantial evidence and strong public opinion that many company boards have not been as effective as they need to be. Weak, ineffective boards, with poor oversight and lacking focus, with ill-informed and incompetent directors, have cost shareholders millions in recent years. But even the best boards cannot operate properly if key information is deliberately withheld by executives. This short article considers the central role of information in corporate governance. | Type of material: | Journal Article | Publisher: | Chartered Accountants Ireland | Journal: | Chartered Accountants Ireland News | Issue: | April 2010 | Copyright (published version): | 2010, Chartered Accountants Ireland | Keywords: | Company boards; Board of directors; Boardroom culture; Corporate governance | Other versions: | https://www.charteredaccountants.ie/en/General/News-and-Events/News-Archive/2010/April/Boards-that-Work---Information-Flow-is-the-Key/ | Language: | en | Status of Item: | Not peer reviewed |
