"Governance, Business Ethics, Risk Management, and Internal Control provides an introductory discussion of the concepts and practices underpinning the ways how companies are governed through the functioning of corporate boards, implementation of corporate ethics, risk management, and internal control systems.
This textbook is organized into seven chapters that discuss the interrelated fields of corporate governance, business ethics, risk management, and internal control. Governance codes, risk, and control frameworks are tackled in a way that strikes a balance between principles and application in everyday corporate life. High-profile corporate scandals such as the Enron bankruptcy is incorporated in the discussions to give accountancy students a “feel” of the actual issues in the sphere of corporate governance. Lastly, risk assessment and control templates are introduced in this textbook for the purpose of presenting visuals to students to enhance their understanding of the topics." -- Back cover
