Description: Corporate governance is not a new concept. In fact the popularity of the subject area has generated much academic debate and research particularly in the last 15 years with the large- scale international corporate collapses of the early 2000s and the recent global financial crisis. The object of this research is to demonstrate the nature of the current climate of corporate governance in an Australian context through case law and legislation. It does not prescribe a 'one-size-fits-all' corporate governance solution, in fact this research clearly demonstrates that corporate governance can be linked to compliance with Corporations Act 2001 in particular directors' duties. Australian case law has demonstrated the continuing need for clarification of the legislation but this research acknowledges it also adds to the increasing burden already bestowed upon company directors.
