CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
BACKGROUND TO THE STUDY
A series of events over the last twenty years have brought corporate governance issues to the tope of concerns for both the international financial institutions and international business institutions and international business community.

More recently, high profile scandals, financial crises and/or institutional failures in Russia, Asia and the United States have brought corporate governance issues to the fore in developing countries and emerging markets.
These incidents illustrate that the lack of corporate governance enables insiders, whether they be company managers, company directors or public officials, to ransack companies and/or public (offers at the expense of shareholders, creditors and other stakeholders (employees, suppliers, the general public, etc).
