Corporate Governance. Case study and analysis

Case Study from the year 2016 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: 77%, University of Ulster, course: Corporate Governance, language: English, abstract: This study will analyse governance, risk and ethics with the example of TM, whom has struggled in nearly every area; and discuss whether it is possible to act in the interests of all stakeholders in an industry that has a primary role as the seller of "brash reporting of show business stars". Corporate governance has been quoted as the exercise of power over corporate entities. Trinity Mirror (TM, known today as the "Daily Mirror Newspaper") launched in 1903 as a pro-women newspaper which has a long history of corporate governance, risk and ethics swaying from diversity to insolvency, unethical trade, treason, audit abuse, and unethical reporting/management. This analysis will consider the corporate governance issues; theories, academic, professional or legal literature/regulations; and whether the events of Trinity Mirror & their responses are consistent or in contrast with those theories. This study further ponders if their responses were suitable, and if similar events occurred whether the current system of governance and accountability is sufficient. It concludes with the lessons learnt and an investment decision criterion for TM.
