This book goes further than simply stating the Combined Code's recommendations and Turnbull's findings – it interprets the implications of the Combined Code and gives practical guidance on how to adopt the principles in your own organisation. Guidance notes are provided to enable you to quickly establish where new systems need to be introduced and where the London Stock Exchange expects compliance in order to ensure good governance. The publication is also relevant for non-listed companies as it offers some background and history, together with examples of practical tools such as risk models, outputs from a risk management exercise and a common risk language. A series of case studies also reveal how a range of organisations are already meeting and planning to meet their governance requirements.
