Beyond the myth of Anglo-American corporate governance
ICAEW began the Beyond the myth of Anglo-American corporate governance initiative. It aims to generate discussion and broaden debate on the differences between US and UK corporate governance systems and help to promote understanding of pressures and opportunities that arise in increasingly international capital markets.
The Emerging Issues paper was published in January 2007 and culminates from the Pressure Points consultation, a series of Discussion papers, face-to-face meetings and two Transatlantic Roundtables. A number of ideas for Further research have also been identified.
The Pressure Points consultation was published in December 2005. It highlights 21 questions representing some of the most challenging aspects of cross-border corporate governance and is relevant to boards, investors, the accountancy profession and policy makers.
