Description
Corporate governance continues to be a key area of focus for companies in the Asia-Pacific region, with recent corporate scandals and the potential impact poorly-managed governance issues can have on the value of companies leading to an increased focus on corporate governance principles and practices. This panel will discuss these recent corporate scandals, new regulations being developed in response, and provide insights into how companies in the Asia-Pacific region are managing these issues and the role independent directors and institutional investors play in governance matters.
