OECD principles of corporate governance : 2004

These Principles, issued by the OECD in 1999, have established an internationally recognised benchmark for good corporate governance, and have been adopted by the Financial Stability Forum as a key standard for sound finance. This revised version, which has benefited from extensive public consultation, takes into account recent developments and experiences in OECD member and non-member countries. The Principles offer non-binding standards and good practices, as well as guidance on implementation, which can be adapted to the specific circumstances of individual countries and regions.
