Overview

The Review further develops the UK framework of corporate governance, which commenced in earnest with the publication of the Cadbury report in 1992 and was taken forward by the Greenbury, Hampel and Turnbull reports. It forms part of a systematic re-appraisal, across leading market economies, of the adequacy of corporate governance arrangements in the wake of recent corporate failures. It also takes place against the backdrop of one of the most severe bear markets witnessed in recent times.
