5 CCG Global Perspective After more than two decades of evolving corporate governance in the UK, many of you may be thinking, is there anything left to improve? The economic, commercial and regulatory environments continue to change, and governance practice and guidance must keep pace. Simon Lowe, Chairman GT Governance Institute 5
6 CCG Global Perspective Corporate Governance in the USA In the first half of the 1990s, the issue of corporate governance in the U.S. received considerable press attention due to a spate of CEO dismissals. In the early 2000s, the massive bankruptcies of Enron and Worldcom as well as corporate scandals led to increased political interest in corporate governance. This was reflected in the passage of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of
7 CCG Global Perspective The G20/OECD Principles of Corporate Governance, first published as the OECD Principles in 1999 Revised in 2004 Revised again and endorsed by the G20 in 2015 This internationally agreed benchmark consists of more than fifty distinct disclosure items across five broad categories: Auditing Board and management structure and process Corporate responsibility and compliance in organization Financial transparency and information disclosure Ownership structure and exercise of control rights 7
8 Blame the deluded board members for Carillion's collapse- The Guardian Responsibility for Carillon collapse lies in the boardroom. It is the job of the directors to manage risk and the eight pages of Carillion s last annual report devoted to the subject clearly only scratched the surface. Carillion directors were boasting in March last year of having substantial liquidity with some 1.5bn of available funding yet the company ran out of money 10 months later. As usual with the construction sector, the immediate cause of failure is a mix of badly priced contracts, badly managed risks plus too much debt. On a good day, contracting firms run on tight operating margins of 3%. If debt is too high, there is little room to absorb calamitous contracts. When three contracts go sour in quick succession, the numbers can spiral out of control. Carillion, outrageously, was declaring a fatter dividend for shareholders only last spring. Given what we know now, the correct action would have been to go to those investors and ask for a big injection of capital via a rights issue. Half the board would have had to resign, but an over-stretched balance sheet might have been repaired. Instead Carillion seems to have chosen to chase more low-margin contracts in a desperate attempt to keep its revenue line moving. 8
