2nd OECD/World Bank Asian Corporate Governance Roundtable: May 2000

The 2nd OECD/World Bank Asian Corporate Governance Roundtable took place in Hong Kong on 31 May - 2 June 2000 on "The Role of Disclosure in Strengthening Corporate Governance and Accountability," co-hosted by the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and the Hong Kong Society of Accountants. The meeting focused on three broad aspects of disclosure: the role of the board of directors in overseeing disclosure, accounting and audit standards and their implementation, and non-financial disclosure. As countries move from merit based regulation to greater disclosure based regulation, financial transparency was identified as the remedy of choice for many problems associated with governance in the region.
