Corporate Governance dan Etika Bisnis
Definition There is no universally accepted definition of corporate governance Existing definitions of corporate governance fall along a spectrum: ‘Narrow’ views restricted to relationship between a company and its shareholders ‘Broader’ views relationship between a company and its stakeholders
Definition Rezaee (2009): Corporate governance is the process affected by a set of legislative, regulatory, legal, market mechanisms, listing standards, best practices, and efforts of all corporate governance participants, including the company’s directors, officers, auditors, legal counsel, and financial advisors, which creates system of checks and balances with the goal of creating and enhancing enduring and sustainable shareholder value, while protecting the interests of other stakeholders
Definition OECD - Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development: Corporate Governance is the system by which business corporations are directed and controlled The Corporate Governance structure specifies the distribution of the right dan responsibilities among different participants in the corporation, such as the board, managers, shareholders, and other stakeholders, and spells out the rules and procedures for making decisions on corporate affairs. By doing this, it also provides this structure through which the company objectives are set, and the means of attaining those objectives and monitoring performance
Aspects of Corporate Governance 3 aspects of corporate governance examined: Shareholder aspect Stakeholder aspect Integrated aspect
Shareholder Aspect The shareholder aspect of corporate governance is based on the premise that shareholders provide capital to the corporation that exists for their benefit Support agency theory
Agency Theory Agency relationship is a contract under which one or more persons (principal(s)) engage another person (agent) to perform some service on their behalf which involves delegating some decision making authority to the agent.
Agency Problem The essence of agency problem is separation of ownership and control Principal have difficulties in assuring that their funds are not expropriated or wasted on unattractive projects
Conflict of Interests Insiders have an information advantage over other parties (i.e. outsiders). Insiders: Management, Majority Stockholders Outsiders: Creditors, Minority Stockholders, Government, Employees, Public These parties pursue their own interests (i.e., self interest), which can be conflicting As a result, the parties whose action is unobservable tend to shirk (i.e., insiders), which is detrimental to the other parties
Stockholder-Manager Conflicts The self-interested behavior of managers may be at conflict with the interest of stockholders. Managers may favor growth and larger size of the firm: Greater job security Larger compensation Greater prestige Larger discretionary expense accounts
Stockholder-Manager Conflicts (Cont’d) Consumption of excessive perquisites. Direct benefits: use of company car, expense accounts. Indirect benefits: up-to-date office decor. Shirking They may not put forth their best efforts.
Stockholder-Manager Conflicts (Cont’d) Principal and agent sign a contract that specifies what the manager does with the funds, and how the returns are divided between them. The problem is: complete contracts are infeasible. As the consequence, the manager ends up with substantial control rights. Agency costs
Shareholder Aspect Corporate governance is designed to reduce the agency costs and align the interests of management with those of investors
Stakeholder Aspect Focuses on the broader view of the company as the nexus of contracts among all corporate governance participants with the common goal of creating value Concentrates in the maximization for all stakeholders
Integrated Aspect The primary goal of corporate governance is not simply to reduce agency costs, but to create a right balance of power sharing among all corporate governance participants driven by the responsibility to create and enhance long-term shareholder value while protecting the interests of other stakeholders
