Corporate Governance: Board Practices Incentives and Governing Risks

This document examines how effectively boards manage to align executive and board remuneration with
the longer term interests of their companies. This is a major and ongoing issue in many companies and one
of the key failures highlighted by the financial crisis. Aligning incentives seems to be far more problematic
in companies and jurisdictions with a dispersed shareholding structure since, where dominant or controlling
shareholders exist, they seem to act as a moderating force on remuneration outcomes.
