Incentives in Corporate Governance: The Role of Self-Regulation
2004
Corporate governance stems from the interplay of legal norms, security regulation, self-regulation and best practices. Recent scandals and frauds have forced governments to update laws on corporate governance: the legislation process has been very fast in some countries, others have lagged.

A self-regulatory organization (SRO) such as the stock exchange could administer the screening device,…
