CTP11 – Regional Developments and Impact on Corporate Boards

Current Topics
The regulatory environment in Asia is evolving, with Japan, South Korea, and even China implementing corporate governance reforms that emphasise the role of company boards in enhancing shareholder value, reviewing strategy and overseeing corporate mergers and acquisitions. While the momentum for change is more deeply rooted in Japan, the pace of corporate governance reform in the other East Asian markets is growing. We discuss the main features of these programmes and how this could change expectations of businesses and corporate boards across the region.
