Corporate Governance Toolkits

The Global Corporate Governance Forum, within its mandate to support developing and emerging markets in their corporate governance reform efforts, has launched global and regional initiatives focusing on capacity building. The Forum is developing a series of corporate governance reform toolkits to ensure effective implementation of corporate governance reform at the country level.

Building on existing country assessments or diagnostics, the toolkits provide policy makers, private sector decision makers and/or nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) with a roadmap and implementation mechanisms to help structure step-by-step efforts to improve corporate governance. The toolkits aim to distill international experience and offer mechanisms for adapting these to local circumstances.

Toolkit 4: Resolving Corporate Governance Disputes The toolkit provides practical guidance on how consensus-based alternatives to adjudication can help prevent, resolve, and reduce the negative impact of corporate governance disputes and consequently contribute to improving corporate governance practices, strengthening investor confidence, and supporting business continuity.
