The pace of change in corporate governance has accelerated rapidly in the last few years and discussions around the quality of decision-making, the roles and behaviours of directors, and the oversight and management of risk is constantly in the spotlight.

The new edition of the Corporate Governance Handbook has captured these changes and provide practical advice on how to implement good governance strategies for your organisation using best practice and up-to-date guidance.

The 3rd edition of this book has been brought fully up-to-date to take account of, amongst other things:-

  • Auditor rotation
  • The outcome of the Kay review
  • Executive remuneration
  • Shareholder activism
  • Corporate Governance Green Paper
  • Changes to the Takeover Code
  • Board diversity and the latest updates of the UK Corporate Governance Code
  • Health and Safety
  • Discussion of the first UK Corporate Manslaughter prosecution
  • Further coverage on some issues affecting International Corporate Governance

The Handbook commentary is supported by a range of practical templates, checklists, precendents, summaries and case studies, and also the text of key codes of practice and guidelines.
