The role of directors is being taken ever more seriously as it becomes more and more clear that, in the complex and fast-moving business environment of today, standards of corporate governance need to be high if corporate scandals that damage shareholders, employees and pension funds are to be avoided.

And extensive appendices provide codes of best practice and checklists that will be of immense practical help to those involved in setting and raising standards of governance in their organisations.
