Gatekeepers : The Professions and Corporate Governance (Clarendon Lectures in Management Studies) Book Information:

In the wake of a series of corporate governance disasters in the US and Europe which have gained almost mythic status - Enron, world Com, tyco, adelphia, health South, parmalat - one question has not yet been addressed. A number of 'GATE keeping' Professions - auditors, attorney, 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 why not. To answer these questions, A more detailed investigation is necessary that moves beyond journalism and easy scapegoating, and examines the evolution, responsibilities, and standards of these professions. John C. Coffee Jr, world-renowned Professor of corporate law, examines how these GATE keeping 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 under perform or neglect their responsibilities, and focuses on those feasible changes that can restore gatekeepers as the loyal agents of investors. This informed and readable 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.
