Here are few quick questions to @trephena.
1. Can you pls give me some ideas about how to fulfill the requirement – “Presentation of your results in an appropriate form e.g. tables, graphs, pie charts.” As this is not like topic 8 where the use of excel is inevitable and easy.
2. What would be the most appropriate way to compare the governance practice of my selected company with a suitable competitor? Should it be code by code basis or anything else specific?
3. When assessing the compliance of my company with the UK governance code, based on the information given in the annual report, they have complied with almost all code provisions except 2, and it is also mentioned in the annual report with justification. So is it enough to tell that the compliance is in line with the CODE? This exercise alone has eaten up 3600 words. I have tried to cover almost all sub-sections in the governance code. I am a bit lost in here.
4. Am I on track or should I concentrate on finding the online news and articles about non-compliance with the governance code?
Your kind assistance will be greatly appreciated.
@trephena, I have been following you for quite some times now. I have read all your posts and the encouragement you have given through your posts has made me to select topic 17. You are doing more favor, free of cost compared with what we are getting from our mentors after paying them handsomely. I have three questions for you.
1. What will be the most appropriate way to show the usage of accounting and/or business techniques for topic 17? For analyzing the stakeholder impact, I have decided to use Mendelow matrix or Kendall & Kendall as you have recommended. My mentor said this is not enough. He told me to find out any specific theory of Corporate Governance for that matter. After some browsing, I have come to know about some available theory. Namely: Agency theory, Stewardship theory, Resource dependency theory, Stakeholder theory and Transaction Cost Economics. Are they appropriate for the purpose? If yes, then, how to relate them?
2. I have come to know about three models of Corporate Governance – Japanese model, Anglo-US model and German model. Can i use them? If yes, then, how?
3. I have selected Shell, Chevron and Exxon Mobil to do the comparison with my company BP oil. Should i use all of them or should i stick with one of them. My mentor has advised me to use any one.
Thanks in advance for your kind co-operation.
