Description: "This book provides an interesting combination of papers, each related to governance at different levels. Governance is assessed from the regulatory point of view, the firm's point of view, the investor's point of view, and from the market's point of view. The question is how different factors such as international regulations, domestic deregulation, choice of production method, use of a specific risk-detecting method, and a new market environment, can affect governance and the levels of risk faced by investors and stakeholders.

The books also includes studies that correspond to risk reduction and management in different sectors such as banks, telecommunications, retail, utilities and agriculture, as well as financial markets in different parts of the world in both emerging and established markets. Finally, the book offers interesting and informative studies relating to Iraq and its stock market, and also looks at possible methods of fund-raising."--Jacket.
