| Course content, structure and pedagogical
approach |
|
In response to the financial crisis of 2008, Alan Greenspan
remarked: “I made the mistake in presuming that the self-interests
of organizations, specifically banks and others, were such that
they were best capable of protecting their own shareholders and the
equity of the firm”. The statement is still highly relevant in
light of recent scandals across industries, including the financial
sector. From the governance perspective evidence suggests failure
across the board – risk management systems, functioning of boards,
designation of remuneration and incentives schemes, and
effectiveness of supervisory and regulatory bodies. In the course,
we will discuss how corporate governance helps financial
institutions deal with these issues. We will do so by combining
discussions of corporate governance concepts and empirical evidence
with practical examples and business cases. The aim is to equip
course participants with the knowledge necessary to critically
analyse the various aspects of corporate governance and contribute
to the decisions concerning the governance activities in a
corporation.
