Over the last few years, the concept of corporate governance in relation to Russian economic realities has been used relatively recently. The concept of corporate governance in the economic practice of Russia was synonymous with production management in 1990-2000 At the same time, "good corporate governance" is a set of activities of public companies in order to ensure high demand for their shares and debt securities from portfolio investors.

Indonesia established a Sovereign Wealth Fund aimed at obtaining funds from foreign investors. The fund aimed to develop the Indonesian economy, especially in the infrastructure sector. In addition, ISWF will be partnered with foreign investors in investing in Indonesia. ISWF will ensure the implementation of good corporate governance for foreign investors in Indonesia. ISWF consists of two boards, namely the Supervisory Board and the Board of Directors. The two boards have different functions. This research aims to determine the application of corporate governance principles for the Indonesian Sovereign Wealth Fund (ISWF). The research used a normative juridical research method. The research concludes that the government needs to review the implementation of the principles of institutional corporate governance in the Indonesian Sovereign Wealth Fund. The principles of corporate governance need to be rearranged, mainly the functions and powers of the Supervisory Board and the definition of the authority of the Board of Directors. It is considered that the research has its particular limitation as the discussion is based only on two laws and one corporate governance manual. It is suggested that further research have more development by comparing corporate governance in other countries.

When the Cyprus economy was booming in the 1990s, key issues emanating from sound corporate governance, such as accountability, transparency and effective independent boards were not deemed important. However, largely as a result of the Cyprus stock exchange collapse of 2000, this view changed. In September 2002, due to the collapse, the Cyprus Stock Exchange implemented a Corporate Governance Code predicated largely on Anglo‐Saxon principles of corporate governance.This paper reports the result of a study into levels of compliance with the Code by companies listed on the Cyprus Stock Exchange. The findings indicate that only a small minority complied with all significant aspects of the Code, and the vast majority did not comply with any. While the Code was well intended, the intended reforms do not appear to have significantly improved corporate governance. This is perhaps not surprising, given that the Cyprus equity markets and corresponding legislative support pertaining to corporate governance are in their infancy. In addition, some typical free market controls (e.g. low degree of concentration of ownership, reliable and timely information flows and opportunities for investor diversification) that facilitate international institutional investment do not exist in Cyprus. This suggests that the introduction of a Corporate Governance Code in Cyprus, or other developing economies, is likely to have only minimal impact unless it is supported by other initiatives. However, recent developments in Cyprus relating to greater education as to the benefits of corporate governance, as well as more stringent listing rules for companies lacking aspects of corporate governance, suggest that Cyprus is making serious endeavours to improve the corporate governance of its listed companies.

Corporate governance is gaining interest not only from investors but companies that want to operate in international markets, prompting a more thorough analysis of the field to prioritise stakeholder interests alongside shareholder value. By adopting a holistic approach that considers stakeholders' diverse needs and expectations, companies can build resilience, foster trust, and create sustainable value for all stakeholders, ensuring long-term success and societal impact. This paper analyses corporate governance principles applied at the international, European, and national levels, emphasising the importance of the field for the stakeholders. The practical approach of the paper analyses the application and compliance of the corporate governance code of 18 companies in the field of financial intermediation and insurance, which are listed on the Bucharest Stock Exchange, underlining the crucial role of transparency of operations in instilling confidence and reassurance in stakeholders. The conclusions present proposals for measures to improve corporate governance practices at the level of companies.

The implementation of good corporate governance (GCG) is the main foundation of companies that needs to run their business activities for a long period. Along with the development of technology and information, the implementation of GCG is increasingly needed for internet intermediary platform providers in carrying out their business activities. The implementation of GCG principles can also reduce the risk of failure in protecting privacy of personal data on the platform. The related principles are transparency, accountability, and responsibility principle by taking into account a number of laws and regulations such as Law No. 11 of 2008 as amended by Law No. of 2016 concerning Amendments to Law No. 11 of 2008 concerning Information and Electronic Transactions (ITE Law), Government Regulation No. 71 of 2019 (GR 71/2019), and Ministry of Communication and Information Regulation No. 20 of 2016. This research will use a normative juridical research method that takes into account the provisions of the legislation and other relevant documents. As a result, the implementation of GCG is not fully implemented in the case of failure in protecting privacy of personal data in internet intermediary company (PT Bukalapak), thus the legal attempt that can be applied to manifest the company's liability refers back to ITE Law, GR 71/2019, and Ministry of Communication and Information Regulation 20/2016 which are compensation and administrative sanctions.

During periods of uncertainty, such as the Covid-19 pandemic, the significance of Corporate Governance (CG) practices is highlighted. The study aims to evaluate the adoption of CG practices in companies listed on the Slovak capital market, with a specific focus on the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic. The data were collected manually from the annual reports of these companies, and covered the period from 2016 to 2021. The Corporate Governance Index, which is developed through Saaty's method, is used to evaluate the overall level of CG implementation. Individual components of the CG Index are also examined. Between 2016 and 2021, the majority of the examined CG criteria and the overall CG Index showed improvement as compared to 2011 - 2015. However, currently, nearly 50% of companies do not disclose information on corporate governance, remuneration, and risk management, and many companies have not succeeded in establishing nomination and remuneration committees or making any progress in terms of board gender diversity. The Covid-19 pandemic has had a moderate impact on some criteria. On the one hand, the information on board member remuneration and risk management has moderately deteriorated. On the other hand, the audit committee has shown improvement. Nevertheless, the pandemic has not significantly affected the overall adoption of CG practices in Slovak companies.

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to evaluate the negative impacts of the Coronavirus Disease-2019 (COVID-19) emergency on small- and medium-sized enterprises' (SMEs) business continuity (BC) by examining the moderating role of corporate governance principles (CGP) on SMEs' BC in the context of an emerging market.Design/methodology/approachBased on an extended literature review on the negative impacts of the COVID-19 emergency, CGP and BC studies, the authors evaluate the impact of these constructs on SMEs' BC in an emerging market. This paper follows a quantitative approach. The study sample was composed of 334 responses covering directors, managers and owners of enterprises. The Smart PLS SEM version 3.3.2 was used to analyse the data from SMEs of Vietnam in the year 2021.FindingsThe findings of this study clarify the areas of the COVID-19 consequences that negatively affect the BC. In addition, this study reveals that CGP moderates the links between COVID-19 outcomes and BC, whereby good CGP can facilitate a business to reduce the adverse effects of COVID-19 on BC. In addition to this, good CGP can help a firm to enhance its capability to respond to fluctuations in the external environment of the business.Originality/valueTo the best of the authors' knowledge, this is the first research that examines the moderating role of CGP. The originality of this study is that it gives an insight into how SMEs in an emerging economy overcome the adverse effects of the COVID-19 emergency on BC to keep their business going, and moreover, have the ability to move towards sustainability in today's challenging context. This study provides the theoretical and managerial implications that may be of great interest to the academics, business practitioners and policymakers.

This article uses two case law examples (New Zealand and South Africa), to illustrate how a questionnaire could be developed in practice as a method to identify a breach of ethics with reference to King IV, the FMA handbook and the NZX code. These two cases use terminology as found in relevant corporate governance codes and illustrate how to interpret those terminologies correctly, i.e. in terms of honesty and integrity. Relevant literature is reviewed in reference to the two case law examples. To interpret a corporate governance term properly, reference should also be made to appropriate legislation, e.g., the Companies Act when drafting a questionnaire. To understand corporate governance codes a holistic view should be adopted by the board of directors when drafting a corporate governance questionnaire. Such a questionnaire could provide the necessary insight as a method to prevent unethical business behaviour in future.Keywords: corporate governance; integrity; honesty; director; ethics; King IV; NZX code;corporate culture https://doi.org/10.19108/KOERS.85.1.2465

For everyone taking part in a development community, endeavoring to bring democracy through ameliorating economic situations and political structures, overcoming poverty, infrastructure decay, limited access to basic resources, and lack of private-sector jobs are sensitive concerns in fragile and emerging economies. For this, to address these and other related problems and maintain the legitimacy of governments, measures ranging from democratic to market reform were undertaken. Among all, corporate governance does have a pivotal role in cleansing the governance environment in unmasking insider relationships and injecting values of transparency and accountability in both spheres of private and public transactions. It is also accelerating a functional small and medium-sized enterprise sector entrusted for sustainable solutions to poverty in generating jobs and attracting investment. Hence, as good governance in the private and public sector is inseparable, corporate governance is found to be an important tool in bringing democracies to reveal for all segments of society.
