Corporate Accountability: With Case Studies in Pension Funds and in the Banking Industry

Corporate accountability must be examined within the perspective of a company's business challenges. There is a synergy between shareholder value and the responsibilities of management. This book is based on an extensive research project done by the author from 2001 to 2003 in the United States, England, Germany, France, Italy and Switzerland. It includes many case studies on corporate accountability and governance, particularly among financial institutions. Significant attention is also paid to good governance of pension funds.
