In the 21st century, corporate governance has become critical for all medium and large organizations. As the corporate governance movement has spread out across the financial sphere, so has the pressure on directors to know and understand what is expected of them.

It answers questions such as: What is good corporate governance practice? To whom does the Combined Code apply? Is SOX important outside the US? Should the directors of privately-owned UK companies pay the same attention to corporate governance as those of FTSE100 companies? What is the European Union up to, and what difference will it make?
