 27 Feb 2008 - Governance and Performance in Corporate Britain
Lunchtime presentation on Wednesday 27th  February, 12:30 - 14:15.
  
Does good corporate governance boost company’s profitability and value creation? Answers to this basic question are especially important after the strengthening of corporate governance regimes around the world. This lunchtime presentation will set out the findings of a new piece of research conducted by the ABI using unique governance data from its Institutional Voting and Information Service (IVIS).  
The research looks at 654 UK FTSE All-Share companies and fiscal years from 2003 to 2007. Particularly, it:
  
- Considers the connection between the judgements passed by the ABI voting information service and share price and firm performance;
- Establishes robust links between a report being Red Topped and poor future performance of the company;  
- Highlights the impact of different types of best practice breach, such as pre-emption rights, dilution issues and the number of NEDs on a Board;  
- Examines the relationship between the quality of governance practices and the level and volatility of company stock returns.  
  
Professor Colin Mayer, Peter Moores Dean of the Said Business School at Oxford University, will comment on the research findings. Professor Mayer is a leading expert on corporate governance and has also written and lectured widely in the fields of corporate finance, regulation and taxation.
  
The presentation will be followed by a Q&A session.
