Corporate Governance Regulations and Board Independence

"Corporate Governance Regulations and Board Independence" is a comprehensive guide that addresses the importance of board independence within corporate governance. The focus is on the regulations in the United States and Saudi Arabia, with an in-depth analysis of the mechanisms of board independence in both countries. The book not only offers a critical examination of existing regulations but also formulates concrete recommendations for improving board independence. This includes proposals for reforming U.S. regulations, such as the introduction of standards for board independence, incentives for stock ownership, and a reward system for independent directors. For Saudi Arabia, reform proposals are presented for the election of independent directors and for raising awareness of the concept of independence. This analysis is aimed at decision-makers in the stock exchanges, management, and various stakeholders interested in corporate governance in both countries.
