Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. In the wake of a series of corporate governance disasters in the US and Europe which have gained almost mythic status - Enron, WorldCom, Tyco, Adelphia, HealthSouth, Parmalat - one question has not yet been addressed. A number of 'gatekeeping' professions - auditors, attorneys, securities analysts, credit-rating agencies - exist to guard against these governance failures. Yet clearly these watchdogs did not bark while corporations were looted and destroyed. But whynot?To answer these questions, a more detailed investigation is necessary that moves beyond journalism and easy scapegoating, and examines the evolution, responsibilities, andstandards of these professions. John C. Coffee Jr, world-renowned Professor of Corporate Law, examines how these gatekeeping professions developed, to what degree they failed, and what reforms are feasible. Above all, this book examines the institutional changes and pressures that caused gatekeepers to underperform or neglect their responsibilities, and focuses on those feasible changes that can restore gatekeepers as the loyal agents of investors.This informed andreadable view of the players on the contemporary business stage will be essential reading for investors, professionals, executives and business academics concerned with issues of good governance. John C. Coffee Jr, a leading international expert on business and law, traces the evolution of the four main 'gatekeeping' professions: auditors, lawyers, securities analysts, and credit-rating agencies, and examines the role and development of these professions.
