Abstract
The Russia corporate governance manual
has been divided into and is published in six parts: (i)
corporate governance introduced; (ii) good board practices;
(iii) shareholder rights; (iv) information disclosure and
transparency; (v) special focus section; and (vi) annexes
model corporate governance documents. The first four parts
contain chapters that focus on core corporate governance
issues, such as a company's board structure,
information disclosure practices, and shareholder rights.
Part five focuses on corporate governance issues of
particular importance in the Russian context, namely
corporate governance concerns during a company's
reorganization, within holding structures, and relating to
enforcement. Part six, finally, offers practical tools in
the form of model documents, for example company codes,
by-laws, and contracts. All issues are closely examined
through Russian law and regulations; the Federal Commission
for the Securities Market's Code of Corporate Conduct
(FCSM Code) Code and, when applicable, internationally
recognized best practices. This manual also provides
government officials, lawyers, judges, investors, and others
with a framework for assessing the level of corporate
governance practices in Russian companies. Finally, it
serves as a reference tool for the educational institutions
that will train the next generation of Russian managers,
investors, and policy makers on good corporate governance practices.
