The report includes analyses of corporate successes and failures in 27 case studies from 10 countries. It introduces the concept of the strategic scorecard and offers guidance on enterprise risk management, the acquisition process, and managing board performance. An appendix features a synopsis of recent international corporate governance developments. The report may be Downloaded from IFAC's Website free of charge. Click here for IFAC Press Release (PDF 54k).
