The Corporate Governance Review: Edition 11 brings together recognised leaders in the field of corporate governance law from each jurisdiction across the world.

MinterEllison partners Jeremy Blackshaw, Kate Koidl and Bart Oude-Vrielink co-authored the Australian Chapter, which outlines relevant statutory and regulatory requirements, and guidelines for doing business in Australia.

Company directors have substantial responsibilities under Australian law. Recent developments and trends in corporate governance, as well as insight into the drivers of improvement in corporate leadership, is essential information for companies striving for best practice standards.

Corporate governance is tied to all aspects of company conduct and its resulting reputation. Accordingly, all directors – including foreign directors sitting on boards of Australian subsidiary companies – should ensure they are across the corporate governance framework in Australia.
