Corporate Governance
What is Corporate Governance?
In A Board Culture of Corporate Governance, business author Gabrielle O'Donovan defines
corporate governance as 'an internal system encompassing policies, processes and people, which
serves the needs of shareholders and other stakeholders, by directing and controlling
management activities with good business savvy, objectivity, accountability and integrity. Sound
corporate governance is reliant on external marketplace commitment and legislation, plus a
healthy board culture which safeguards policies and processes.
O'Donovan goes on to say that 'the perceived quality of a company's corporate governance can
influence its share price as well as the cost of raising capital. Quality is determined by the
financial markets, legislation and other external market forces plus how policies and processes
are implemented and how people are led. External forces are, to a large extent, outside the circle
of control of any board. The internal environment is quite a different matter, and offers
companies the opportunity to differentiate from competitors through their board culture. To date,
too much of corporate governance debate has centered on legislative policy, to deter fraudulent
activities and transparency policy which misleads executives to treat the symptoms and not the
cause.
It is a system of structuring, operating and controlling a company with a view to achieve long
term strategic goals to satisfy shareholders, creditors, employees, customers and suppliers, and
complying with the legal and regulatory requirements, apart from meeting environmental and
local community needs.
Report of SEBI committee (India) on Corporate Governance defines corporate governance as the
acceptance by management of the inalienable rights of shareholders as the true owners of the
corporation and of their own role as trustees on behalf of the shareholders. It is about
commitment to values, about ethical business conduct and about making a distinction between
personal & corporate funds in the management of a company.” The definition is drawn from the
Gandhian principle of trusteeship and the Directive Principles of the Indian Constitution.
Corporate Governance is viewed as business ethics and a moral duty. See also Corporate Social
Entrepreneurship regarding employees who are driven by their sense of integrity (moral
conscience) and duty to society. This notion stems from traditional philosophical ideas of virtue
(or self governance) [3]
and represents a "bottom-up" approach to corporate governance (agency)
which supports the more obvious "top-down" (systems and processes, i.e. structural) perspective.
Why Is Corporate Governance Important?
Good corporate governance insures that the rights of shareholders are fully realized and that the
Supervisory Board of the enterprise properly carries out the legal rights of the owners.
Many investors, especially institutional investors, believe that good corporate governance
delivers higher shareholder returns. Institutional investors’ criteria for investment in a particular
enterprise relates to how well the enterprise fully and fairly implements the core principles of
good corporate governance.
The limited empirical research to date on the importance of good corporate governance supports
the hypothesis that good corporate governance leads to better financing alternatives for the
enterprise and greater enterprise value.
The McKinsey Survey
In 1999, the internationally recognized management-consulting firm of McKinsey, Inc.
conducted a series of surveys to discover how shareholders perceive and value well-governed
companies. A "well-governed" company was defined as one that has a majority of outside
directors with no management ties on its supervisory board, undertakes formal evaluations of
board members, and is responsive to requests from investors for information on governance
issues.
Responses were received from over 200 institutional investors, who managed an aggregate
portfolio in excess of US $3.25 trillion in assets. Institutional investors estimated the premium
for good corporate governance based primarily on the quality of financial reporting in the
country. The premium for a "well governed" company was higher when there was a low level of
quality financial reporting.
Principles and Framework of Corporate Governance
Corporate governance refers to a number of principles adopted by a company, aiming to uphold
its performance and the interests of its shareholders and all stakeholders. Recognizing the
importance of corporate governance principles and the benefits derived from their adoption, OTE
follows international practice and standards in this area and opts for the systematic
implementation of these principles throughout its operations.
More precisely, as a large capitalization company, listed on the Athens and London Stock
Exchanges, OTE complies with applicable domestic and international corporate governance
legislation, incorporating regulations and compliance practices within its operations. At the same
time, aiming to uphold transparency, efficient management and optimal operational performance,
OTE follows practices which are not required by law but allow for company’s adherence to best
practices.
All relevant provisions and practices are incorporated in the company’s Articles of
Incorporation, Internal Operations Regulation, the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, the
Internal Personnel Regulation and other company by-laws regulating its operations.
Fundamental Principles of OTE's Corporate Governance System
The fundamental principles of OTE’s corporate governance system involve the following:
 Two-way communication between company stakeholders and company’s Management
 Transparency andcontrol over management
 Assurance of operational efficiency
OTE applies corporate governance regulations and practices on the basis of three key priorities
which include the definition of the role of the Board of Directors, the executive members and the
control, the protection of shareholder rights, and the enhancement of transparency and
information disclosure.
Corporate Governance in OTE
Principles
Key elements of good corporate governance principles include honesty, trust and integrity,
openness, performance orientation, responsibility and accountability, mutual respect, and
commitment to the organization.
Of importance is how directors and management develop a model of governance that aligns the
values of the corporate participants and then evaluate this model periodically for its
effectiveness. In particular, senior executives should conduct themselves honestly and ethically,
especially concerning actual or apparent conflicts of interest, and disclosure in financial reports.
Commonly accepted principles of corporate governance include:
Rights and equitable treatment of shareholders: Organizations should respect the
rights of shareholders and help shareholders to exercise those rights. They can help
shareholders exercise their rights by effectively communicating information that is
understandable and accessible and encouraging shareholders to participate in general
meetings.
Interests of other stakeholders: Organizations should recognize that they have legal and
other obligations to all legitimate stakeholders.
Role and responsibilities of the board: The board needs a range of skills and
understanding to be able to deal with various business issues and have the ability to
review and challenge management performance. It needs to be of sufficient size and have
an appropriate level of commitment to fulfill its responsibilities and duties. There are
issues about the appropriate mix of executive and non-executive directors.
Integrity and ethical behavior: Ethical and responsible decision making is not only
important for public relations, but it is also a necessary element in risk management and
avoiding lawsuits. Organizations should develop a code of conduct for their directors and
executives that promotes ethical and responsible decision making. It is important to
understand, though, that reliance by a company on the integrity and ethics of individuals
is bound to eventual failure. Because of this, many organizations establish Compliance
and Ethics Programs to minimize the risk that the firm steps outside of ethical and legal
boundaries.
Disclosure and transparency: Organizations should clarify and make publicly known
the roles and responsibilities of board and management to provide shareholders with a
level of accountability. They should also implement procedures to independently verify
and safeguard the integrity of the company's financial reporting. Disclosure of material
matters concerning the organization should be timely and balanced to ensure that all
investors have access to clear, factual information.
Issues involving corporate governance principles include:
internal controls and internal auditors
the independence of the entity's external auditors and the quality of their audits
oversight and management of risk
oversight of the preparation of the entity's financial statements
review of the compensation arrangements for the chief executive officer and other senior
executives
the resources made available to directors in carrying out their duties
the way in which individuals are nominated for positions on the board
dividend policy
Nevertheless "corporate governance," despite some feeble attempts from various quarters,
remains an ambiguous and often misunderstood phrase. For quite some time it was confined only
to corporate management. That is not so. It is something much broader, for it must include a fair,
efficient and transparent administration and strive to meet certain well defined, writtenobjectives.
Corporate governance must go well beyond law. The quantity, quality and frequency of financial
and managerial disclosure, the degree and extent to which the board of Director (BOD) exercise
their trustee responsibilities (largely an ethical commitment), and the commitment to run a
transparent organization- these should be constantly evolving due to interplay of many factors
and the roles played by the more progressive/responsible elements within the corporate sector.
John G. Smale, a former member of the General Motors board of directors, wrote: "The Board is
responsible for the successful perpetuation of the corporation. That responsibility cannot be
relegated to management. However it should be noted that a corporation should cease to exist if
that is in the best interests of its stakeholders. Perpetuation for its own sake may be
counterproductive.

Corporate+governance[1]

  • 1. Corporate Governance What is Corporate Governance? In A Board Culture of Corporate Governance, business author Gabrielle O'Donovan defines corporate governance as 'an internal system encompassing policies, processes and people, which serves the needs of shareholders and other stakeholders, by directing and controlling management activities with good business savvy, objectivity, accountability and integrity. Sound corporate governance is reliant on external marketplace commitment and legislation, plus a healthy board culture which safeguards policies and processes. O'Donovan goes on to say that 'the perceived quality of a company's corporate governance can influence its share price as well as the cost of raising capital. Quality is determined by the financial markets, legislation and other external market forces plus how policies and processes are implemented and how people are led. External forces are, to a large extent, outside the circle of control of any board. The internal environment is quite a different matter, and offers companies the opportunity to differentiate from competitors through their board culture. To date, too much of corporate governance debate has centered on legislative policy, to deter fraudulent activities and transparency policy which misleads executives to treat the symptoms and not the cause. It is a system of structuring, operating and controlling a company with a view to achieve long term strategic goals to satisfy shareholders, creditors, employees, customers and suppliers, and complying with the legal and regulatory requirements, apart from meeting environmental and local community needs. Report of SEBI committee (India) on Corporate Governance defines corporate governance as the acceptance by management of the inalienable rights of shareholders as the true owners of the corporation and of their own role as trustees on behalf of the shareholders. It is about commitment to values, about ethical business conduct and about making a distinction between personal & corporate funds in the management of a company.” The definition is drawn from the Gandhian principle of trusteeship and the Directive Principles of the Indian Constitution. Corporate Governance is viewed as business ethics and a moral duty. See also Corporate Social Entrepreneurship regarding employees who are driven by their sense of integrity (moral conscience) and duty to society. This notion stems from traditional philosophical ideas of virtue (or self governance) [3] and represents a "bottom-up" approach to corporate governance (agency) which supports the more obvious "top-down" (systems and processes, i.e. structural) perspective.
  • 2. Why Is Corporate Governance Important? Good corporate governance insures that the rights of shareholders are fully realized and that the Supervisory Board of the enterprise properly carries out the legal rights of the owners. Many investors, especially institutional investors, believe that good corporate governance delivers higher shareholder returns. Institutional investors’ criteria for investment in a particular enterprise relates to how well the enterprise fully and fairly implements the core principles of good corporate governance. The limited empirical research to date on the importance of good corporate governance supports the hypothesis that good corporate governance leads to better financing alternatives for the enterprise and greater enterprise value. The McKinsey Survey In 1999, the internationally recognized management-consulting firm of McKinsey, Inc. conducted a series of surveys to discover how shareholders perceive and value well-governed companies. A "well-governed" company was defined as one that has a majority of outside directors with no management ties on its supervisory board, undertakes formal evaluations of board members, and is responsive to requests from investors for information on governance issues. Responses were received from over 200 institutional investors, who managed an aggregate portfolio in excess of US $3.25 trillion in assets. Institutional investors estimated the premium for good corporate governance based primarily on the quality of financial reporting in the country. The premium for a "well governed" company was higher when there was a low level of quality financial reporting.
  • 3. Principles and Framework of Corporate Governance Corporate governance refers to a number of principles adopted by a company, aiming to uphold its performance and the interests of its shareholders and all stakeholders. Recognizing the importance of corporate governance principles and the benefits derived from their adoption, OTE follows international practice and standards in this area and opts for the systematic implementation of these principles throughout its operations. More precisely, as a large capitalization company, listed on the Athens and London Stock Exchanges, OTE complies with applicable domestic and international corporate governance legislation, incorporating regulations and compliance practices within its operations. At the same time, aiming to uphold transparency, efficient management and optimal operational performance, OTE follows practices which are not required by law but allow for company’s adherence to best practices. All relevant provisions and practices are incorporated in the company’s Articles of Incorporation, Internal Operations Regulation, the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, the Internal Personnel Regulation and other company by-laws regulating its operations. Fundamental Principles of OTE's Corporate Governance System The fundamental principles of OTE’s corporate governance system involve the following:  Two-way communication between company stakeholders and company’s Management  Transparency andcontrol over management  Assurance of operational efficiency OTE applies corporate governance regulations and practices on the basis of three key priorities which include the definition of the role of the Board of Directors, the executive members and the control, the protection of shareholder rights, and the enhancement of transparency and information disclosure.

  • 4. Principles Key elements of good corporate governance principles include honesty, trust and integrity, openness, performance orientation, responsibility and accountability, mutual respect, and commitment to the organization. Of importance is how directors and management develop a model of governance that aligns the values of the corporate participants and then evaluate this model periodically for its effectiveness. In particular, senior executives should conduct themselves honestly and ethically, especially concerning actual or apparent conflicts of interest, and disclosure in financial reports. Commonly accepted principles of corporate governance include: Rights and equitable treatment of shareholders: Organizations should respect the rights of shareholders and help shareholders to exercise those rights. They can help shareholders exercise their rights by effectively communicating information that is understandable and accessible and encouraging shareholders to participate in general meetings. Interests of other stakeholders: Organizations should recognize that they have legal and other obligations to all legitimate stakeholders. Role and responsibilities of the board: The board needs a range of skills and understanding to be able to deal with various business issues and have the ability to review and challenge management performance. It needs to be of sufficient size and have an appropriate level of commitment to fulfill its responsibilities and duties. There are issues about the appropriate mix of executive and non-executive directors. Integrity and ethical behavior: Ethical and responsible decision making is not only important for public relations, but it is also a necessary element in risk management and avoiding lawsuits. Organizations should develop a code of conduct for their directors and executives that promotes ethical and responsible decision making. It is important to understand, though, that reliance by a company on the integrity and ethics of individuals is bound to eventual failure. Because of this, many organizations establish Compliance and Ethics Programs to minimize the risk that the firm steps outside of ethical and legal boundaries. Disclosure and transparency: Organizations should clarify and make publicly known the roles and responsibilities of board and management to provide shareholders with a level of accountability. They should also implement procedures to independently verify and safeguard the integrity of the company's financial reporting. Disclosure of material matters concerning the organization should be timely and balanced to ensure that all investors have access to clear, factual information.
  • 5. Issues involving corporate governance principles include: internal controls and internal auditors the independence of the entity's external auditors and the quality of their audits oversight and management of risk oversight of the preparation of the entity's financial statements review of the compensation arrangements for the chief executive officer and other senior executives the resources made available to directors in carrying out their duties the way in which individuals are nominated for positions on the board dividend policy Nevertheless "corporate governance," despite some feeble attempts from various quarters, remains an ambiguous and often misunderstood phrase. For quite some time it was confined only to corporate management. That is not so. It is something much broader, for it must include a fair, efficient and transparent administration and strive to meet certain well defined, writtenobjectives. Corporate governance must go well beyond law. The quantity, quality and frequency of financial and managerial disclosure, the degree and extent to which the board of Director (BOD) exercise their trustee responsibilities (largely an ethical commitment), and the commitment to run a transparent organization- these should be constantly evolving due to interplay of many factors and the roles played by the more progressive/responsible elements within the corporate sector. John G. Smale, a former member of the General Motors board of directors, wrote: "The Board is responsible for the successful perpetuation of the corporation. That responsibility cannot be relegated to management. However it should be noted that a corporation should cease to exist if that is in the best interests of its stakeholders. Perpetuation for its own sake may be counterproductive.
