The purpose of this paper is to review the quality of corporate governance from the prior empirical literature. This study finds that most of the researchers developed the self structured corporate governance index and few researchers used the corporate governance index provided by rating agencies. This study also finds that there is no uniform basis to measure the corporate governance quality and observed the variation in terms of overall and individual attributes of corporate governance; sub-indices of corporate governance; scoring system; weighted and un-weighted method; statistical method; time period; financial and non financial companies; code of corporate governance; listing requirement; disclosure practices; legal environment; firms characteristics; and country perspective. This study also observed that overall corporate governance quality is very low in most of the studies and even quality of corporate governance varies in the firms within the same country. This study recommends that the boundary of corporate governance quality should be defined based on the agreed set of rules and regulation, code of governance and practices. This study also suggests that the regulator and policy makers should more emphasize on code of corporate governance and regulatory framework and monitoring to improve the quality of corporate governance.

Corporate governance has received massive attention in academic research nowadays due to several recent corporate failures. Inefficiency of corporate governance mechanisms have driven the minds of the researchers and the policy makers to look with more insights into this area. Board composition, as part of corporate governance mechanism, plays a significant role to achieve company's goals or objectives and ensure transparency and accountability. The objective of this study is to find out the efficiency of board composition through board size, independent directors and female directors on firm performance in the listed manufacturing firms of Bangladesh. In this study, a sample of 162 firm years are considered as the sample during the period of 2011 to 2016. This study finds that large board is the significant explanatory variable in improving firm performance. This study also shows that board independence and female directors have no significant association with firm performance which implies that instrument of corporate governance mechanism particularly board composition is very weak. This study recommends that code of corporate governance, specially the role of independent directors and female directors, should be reformed in the light of cultural and institutional context along with the effective enforcement.

기업지배구조가 우수하면 기업경영자의 감시역할을 하고 대리비용과 정보비대칭을 감소시킨다. 기업지배구조점수가 높을수록 기업 내부통제시스템과 재무보고 체계가 잘 갖추어져 있으므로 기업 경영이 활성화되고 기업성과가 높아지므로 신용재무평점이 높아질 것이다. 이러한 전제하에 가설을 설정하고 본 연구는 기업지배구조(CGI)가 신용재무평점(CFR)에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 실증 연구하였다. 연구결과, 기업지배구조(CGI)와 신용재무평점의 관련성은 유의한 양(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다, 회귀계수부호는 기대부호인 양(+)이 값이 나타났다. 이러한 결과 기업지배구조(CGI)가 우수할수록 신용재무평점의 점수가 커질 것이라는 예측과 같은 결과가 나타났다. 본 연구결과는 CGI가 우수할수록 신용재무평점이 커진다는 것이다. 본 연구는 기업의 사회적 책임, 건전한 지배구조와 감시기구를 갖춘 기업이 보다 높은 신용등급을 받을 수 있다는 유용한 지침을 실무 및 연구 분야에 제공해 줄 것으로 기대한다.

In America, there has been increased empasis on corporates social responsbility in connect with corporate governance. Modern statutes have been enacted expressly empowering corporations to make donations for the public welfare or for charitable, scientiffic, or educational purposes. the Securities and Exchange Commission in the 1970's stressed improvement in corporate accountability by changing the traditional corporate governance, with emphasis on independent directors, and disintrested overview. The Korean Commerce Code and the Securities Exchange Law have introduced the independent outside-director and the audit committee. This outside-directors and the audit committee should supervise the corporate management by the managing directors to make donations for the public welfare or for charitable, scientiffic, or educational purposes. Korean statutes include many problems that would lose effect of corporates social responsbility in management. In order to become effective the corporates social responsbility, it should be established newly a provision of corporates social responsbility. And the outside-directors should be independent of and supervise the managing directors, and make donations for the public welfare. And the shareholders' supervisement rights on the managment should be strengthen.

The advantages of arbitration such as promptness, economy and flexibility apply to the disputes arising from corporate governance between shareholders and a corporation. The confidentiality of arbitration can be particularly highlighted in the disputes among the members inside corporation. But it appears that the shareholders believe litigation the best way to pursue liabilities of managers of corporation and improve the system of corporate governance. And it is claimed that the current litigation system lacks the implementation of shareholders rights due to structural deficiency and therefore need bring class actions into the system of Korean jurisprudence. The OECD, which afforded the rescue finances to Korea, also recommended shareholder class actions as a way to improve corporate governance. Class actions have merits but even advanced countries consider the changes of existing system or only stay class actions in the stage of discussion. Rather, legal experts urge arbitration to be used more frequently and the Courts also approved the dispute resolutions of the disputes as to corporate governance through arbitration. There is no report in Korea that arbitration was used to resolve the disputes between shareholders and the managers, or between shareholders and corporation, which is listed in the Stock Market. There only are the debates for bring class actions into the judicial system between NGOs and the organizations of corporate managers. But arbitration has greater advantages in resolving the disputes among the members of corporation that any other methods for dispute resolution. Arbitration can interpret flexibly the mandatory provisions of the Statutes of Security and the Code of Commerce to meet the needs of parties involved, which is not possible to the Courts. Arbitration can issue the award to meet the equity of the parties. And arbitration can avoid a resolution of All or Nothing by fully considering the specific situations of Korean corporations(such as family-dominated management) and can issue the award beneficial to all parties of shareholders, managers and corporation. Thus it should be sought to resolve the disputes as to corporate governance through arbitration.

This study attempts to examine whether ownership of government-controlled corporations and audit committee effectiveness are related. The population of this study is 431 listed manufactured firms in the Saudi Stock Exchange (Tadawul) for the period 2012-2019 that published their financial and annual reports for the period 2012-2019. This population criterion is based on considerations that manufacturing companies listed on Tadawul have publicly accessible data and they have greater obligations to implement corporate governance code. Using the complementary hypothesis, this study predicts that there is a positive relationship between the ownership of government-controlled companies and audit committee effectiveness. The Pooled OLS regression shows that government-controlled companies' ownership is positively associated with audit committee effectiveness. Our study also indicates that ownership of government-controlled companies as a governance monitoring mechanism becomes more effective as it is combined with audit committee effectiveness which is another governance monitoring mechanism. The results of this study provide insightful evidence to policymakers at the company and country levels on the relationship of government-corporate ownership and audit committee effectiveness.

블록체인 기술은 분권화를 통해 투표 과정에서 이루어질 수 있는 부당한 개입과 조작을 방지하여 투표 결과의 신뢰성을 높여 공정한 여론 수렴의 어려움으로 인해 대리 의사결정이 이루어지던 많은 분야에서 직접 의사결정의 가능성을 열어 주었다. 전세계적으로 공공 의사결정에 블록체인 기술을 활용한 투표 시스템을 도입하려는 시도가 이루어지고 있으며, 이는 투명하고 공정한 여론 수렴 채널로 기능하여 공공 의사결정 과정과 지배구조에 큰 변화를 가져올 것으로 기대된다. 최근 스튜어드십 코드를 도입한 국민연금의 경우, 지배구조에 대한 불신으로 인해 스튜어드십 코드 도입 취지와 달리 국민연금 가입자의 이해에 반하는 주주권 행사와 지나친 경영 간섭이 일어날 것이란 우려가 제기 되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 국민연금 사례를 중심으로 가입자 의견 수렴과 공공 의사결정을 위한 블록체인 기술을 응용한 투표 시스템을 제안하고 이를 도입하기 위해 마련되어야 할 사회적 제도적 제반 여건에 대해 논의한다.

우리나라의 회사채시장은 양적으로 꾸준한 성장세를 지속하였으나 여전히 질적 성숙이 그에 미치지 못하는 것으로 평가되고 있으며 외환위기 이후에도 대우채, 현대채, 카드채 사태 등의 금융시장 불안을 반복적으로 초래하였다. 회사채시장의 질적 발전이 이루어지지 못한 것은 무엇보다도 관련 인프라의 적절한 구축이 이루어지지 못한데 크게 영향 받은 것으로 판단된다. 특히 신용평가산업은 실제 발행기업의 채무상환능력을 평가하는 정보의 생성기능을 적절하게 담당하지 못한 채 제도의 이식 수준에 머물고 있다. 본 연구는 미국 SEC 및 미국학계에서 제기되고 있는 신용평가사제도 개선 논의를 고려하여 우리나라의 신용평가사제도 개선의 가능성을 모색한다. 특히, 우리나라 특유의 상황에 의해 발생하고 있는 우리나라 신용평가산업 특유의 문제들을 소유 지배구조 및 부수업무 수행에 따르는 이해상충, 역사적 발전과정, 신용등급에 대한 법리적 해석 및 경제 사회적 차이에 따르는 문제로 분류하여 지적하고 대응방향을 제시하였다.
