All organisations need to be governed well. There are general principles which need to be understood and applied by those who lead enterprises - at all levels. Then there are more detailed prescriptions, tailored for different sectors and enforced by regulators, which directors must understand and apply.

This book is the definitive, practical guide to the ever-changing corporate governance landscape, highlighting the potential pitfalls and recommending solutions to these challenges. It ensures that you are up-to-date and able to be compliant with best practice, giving you confidence that you are continuing to function within the legal, ethical and practical parameters.

Updates to the Ninth Edition reflect:
