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.

This study aims to analyze the features of adaptation governance of local governments by applying a multi-level governance framework, and to draw policy implications. We analyzed changes in governance of 17 metropolitan cities/provinces, and 33 municipalities in terms of horizontal and vertical cooperation in the process of developing 'The Climate Change Adaptation Action Plan' and its implementation stage. The result shows that the plan contributed to the higher level of vertical cooperation between the central and the local governments to a certain extent, however, during the implementation stage, the level of the partnership decreased due to the absence of governance mechanism. These trends were statistically significant at the level of municipalities. The role of Korea Adaptation Center for Climate Change (KACCC) was also diminished after establishing the plan. The horizontal partnership level among the relevant departments of the local governments showed no significant change as the level was low even in the planning stage. Though Public-Private Partnership (PPP) has increased a bit, it was statistically significant only in the municipalities. Moreover, there was no governance mechanism for PPP or it did not work properly. Based on the results above, it is recommended that the effectiveness of the plans should be increased and support for climate change partnerships or forums at a local level that promotes adaptive capacity is needed. The role of metropolitan cities and provinces should be strengthened through building a multi-level partnership structure. Governance institutionalizing for monitoring and evaluation is also needed.

Recently, IT Governance has been applied to business management environment. In this paper, we study business model that can minimize information security risk using IT governance in cloud computing environment. Especially, we propose the interaction model that link risk management for subject of information security governance. In our model, synergy means the effective, strategic and secure business support. And interaction analysis of BMIS's 4 elements and 6 dynamic interconnections is required. Therefore we propose interaction model which can link risk management based on COSO ERM or COBIT Risk IT Framework.

This study bridges the gap between management accounting, CG and entrepreneurship disciplines. Unlike previous studies, this study adopts a positivist approach to develop a contingency framework of CG that operationalises the conformance and performance dimensions into measurable constructs. The contingency framework also adopts a holistic approach that investigates the interrelationships between VBM, CG and CE, as important predictors of organizational performance, which can provide insights into the complementary or conflicting relationships among these predictors in their effects on organizational performance.

Information system audit, which provides effective diagnosis and inspection of IT governance, is applied to all aspects from planning to development and operation. However, there is a difficulty in carrying out the audit because the system for the specialized university IT project is not developed. Therefore, it is necessary to set the internal system as the audit-based application framework in order to apply it to university IT governance. In this paper, we propose a audit-based application framework of university information system developed for university. The framework has a difference from the existing audit system. By using this framework, it is possible to present a standard for the university IT project and easily approach and use it in the field. And it can be used for direct audit through this framework in the level of the auditor as well as the HQ admin. The framework categorizes the audit into three major dimensions and suggests a method that can be applied to the university information system audit through the UAFP(University Audit Framework Process) and quality assurance.

Operational continuity is not a simple issue that can be solved by a Back-Up center or an alternate site. Strategic issues including law, standards, etc demand a new approach in terms of the operational continuity management (OCM). Also, it is necessary to develop a new framework of OCM governance as a part of the corporate governance. Experts from corporate governance insist that OCM can be included in the corporate operational control and so it is important to set up a strategy for OCM in the organization. This paper describes how OCM governance suggests two aspects of effectively controlling corporate risks in the viewpoint of corporate governance. First of all, the top corporate management develops the strategy of operational continuity with regard to the corporate governance. Secondly, there is the aspect of how to build up and manage the strategy of operational continuity in the corporations.

Nowadays, information security governance which is an integral part of corporate governance has become an important issue in protecting valuable business information assets. However, there are few organizations which have implemented information security governance because of its abstract concept. The objective of this paper is to develop CSFs for implementing information security governance. Ten CSFs were developed based on the ISO/IEC 27014 Information Security Governance Framework.
