"This book provides a critical examination of corporate governance reform in Southeast Asia expecially after the Asian financial crisis in 1997. The weaknesses in the corporate sector, such as poor investment structure, weak legal and accounting systems, faulty financial practices, and questionable political interventions, are some of the pertinent issues raised by the authors. Policy measures to improve corporate transparency, institutional accountability, and fiscal prudence are also proposed." -- BACK COVER Papers originally presented at the ASEAN Roundtable 2004 organised by ISEAS, Singapore, on 25-26 August 2004.Corporate governance—Asia, Southeastern—Congresses.
