Abstract (if Available):

Corporate governance codes have effects at both the micro and macro levels; they serve as benchmarks for monitoring and implementing policy and practice within companies and restore investor confidence in markets. Fundamentals for winning investor confidence include ensuring adequate corporate disclosure, guaranteeing investor rights, and ensuring sound board practices.

Using diverse case studies and tools for everything from establishing crafting committees to evaluating the efficacy of codes, this toolkit provides practical guidance on creating and revising codes to fit diverse and dynamic corporate environments.
