Material type: BookSeries: Research in accounting in emerging economies 8. Publisher: Bingley : JAI Press, 2008.Description: xv, 548 p. : ; 24 cm. : ill.ISBN: 9781848552524Subject(s): Corporate governance -- Developing countries | Developing countries -- Economic conditions -- 21st century
Summary:
Research on accounting in LDCs generally argues that a well-developed corporate governance structure, including accounting infrastructure, would promote economic prosperity. Economic development requires a modern, transparent corporate governance infrastructure based on efficient capital markets. Over the past decade corporate governance reform has become an important global policy agenda driven by events such as the 1997 Asian financial crisis, major corporate scandals (such as Enron and WorldCom) and the globalisation of capital markets. In several less developed and emerging economies corporate governance reform is also driven by the adoption of international donor led economic reforms. This in particular has made corporate governance reform an essential element of the development agenda promoted by the World Bank.
