Transcript: Corporate Governance Agency vs Stakeholder Theory Officers (Managers) The Agency Theory Possible Improvements Corporate governance refers to the mechanisms and processes by which corporations are controlled. This includes: Determining the company’s goals. Selecting processes and people to pursue this goal. Regular evaluations. Proper communication between those involved.

Stakeholder What were the positives and negatives of this decision making process? The Agency Theory Situation #1 (Yeh & Taylor, 2008) Board of Directors We are going to have a simile "Board of Directors meeting". Please pair up in groups of 5 One person will be Chairman of the Board and will be assigned the task of presenting the scenario and ensuring a solution is found. The others will each be assigned a stakeholder to represent with certain criteria to follow. Shareholders Employees Customers Suppliers Government Community The Stakeholder Theory Clearly, more research is needed to optimize the current theories. Sport managers need to understand the importance of corporate governance and the various theories that pervade it. It will be up to us to remain up to date with current research to ensure the efficient operation of our organizations! Relevance for Researchers and Sport Managers (Jensen,2010)

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Transcript: A Corporate Governance system characterized by a controlling shareholder. Corporate Governance structure failed to comply with some of the key existing Italian CG standards: Independent directors Composition of the internal control committee. The role of the external auditor as well as the internal control committee. Ownership and control structure: High level of concentration Presence of a limited number of shareholders, linked by either family ties or agreements of a contractual nature. Strong blockholder (Tanzi family) 13 board members Tanzi is chairman and CEO 4 directors were Tanzi familiy members Only 5 non-executive directors 3 claimend independant directors (itl. avg.: 5) Directors were also part of subsidiary boards Barili allegedly non-executive director belonged to the executive committee, and had been working in Parmalat as senior manager from 1963 until 2000 Failure of Board of Directors to recognize, and to deal effectively with, abuses reflecting what reports identified as a “culture of greed” within the corporation’s top management. Major responsibility on the members of the Board of Directors, especially upon those who served on its audit and compensation committees. Board members exercised little diligence, asked few questions and eventually became a mere rubber stamp for extraordinary loans. The lack of transparency between the management and the Board of Directors (The absence of internal controls). Core Issues Violated: No methodology of control systems in place : absent a strong system of internal controls important for the protection of outside investors Lacked board independence as per SOX, audit committee depended on Tanzi family CFO, Fausto Tonna, depended on internal auditor – no access to company books Lack of monitoring company operation by BOD Wrong disclosure of financial reports 3 internal auditors appointed by company (neither by minority shareholders) Lack of rotation of external auditors (Lorenz Penca chief auditor for 9 years ) Bad Apples & Fraud= Lack of Corporate Governance Chairman Tsuyoshi Kikukawa Directors Michael C. Woodford Haruhito Morishima Hisashi Morl Masataka Suzuki Kazuhisa Yanagisawa Shuichi Takayama Takashi Tsukaya Kazuhiro Watanabe Makoto Natatsuka Shinichi Nishigaki Hironobu Kawamata Yasuo Hayashida Hiroshi Kuruma Junichi Hayashi -Boards in most Japanese companies do not only engage in management at the level of policy formulation or decisions on very significant transactions,but they also remain heavily involved in daily operations of the company.The matters they discuss and approve are often relatively small and the result is more frequent meetings than at a typical U.S. company CONCLUSIONS INTERNAL & EXTERNAL CONTROL MECHANISMS COMPENSATION SCHEMES: WORLDCOM BOARD PROCESS: OLYMPUS -Parmalat was a complex group of companies controlled by a strong blockholder (the Tanzi family) through a pyramidal device. BOARD STRUCTURE: OLYMPUS Quality and effectiveness of board meetings Commitment/availability of non executive directors Degree of differences of opinion at the board level Use of knowledge and skills Size: 13 members. 4 of them, including the Chairman-CEO, were linked by family ties. Board leadership: Statutory auditors External auditing Committee Structure: Executive committee was set up and composed of 7 directors, including 3 Tanzi family members. Internal control committee was composed of 3 members. -The Audit Committee did not engage to the extent necessary to understand and address the financial issues presented by this large and extremely complex business -The Compensation Committee dispensed extraordinarily generous rewards without adequate attention to the incentives they created. BOARD STRUCTURE: PARMALAT COMPENSATION SCHEMES: OLYMPUS -There was little interaction between the outside Directors. 15 board members 12 are company executive officers Board is stacked with insiders (typical Japan) One of its three outside directors failed to pass a test of independence Outside directors were not a majority Lack of independent directors supervising management - board packed with yes-men There had been some hope that Japanese companies would take on not just outside directors but outside managers and that corporate cultures in Japan would be more open and international Commitment/availability of non executive directors Use of knowledge and skills Earlier cases (WorldCom) pushed U.S. Congress to enact the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (“SOX”) while being attributed to two main kinds of failure: Corporate organs relevant to internal controls (external auditors, the management, boards or directors, and audit committees) did not work as designed Their internal control mechanisms, especially standard operating procedures to record, collect and gather internal information, did not function -One of the allegedly non-executive directors (Barili) belonged to the executive committee, and had been working in Parmalat as senior manager from 1963 until 2000. Size: 15 members
