| description |
This report assesses Azerbaijan's
corporate governance framework-its laws and regulations,
enforcement and common business practices. The report notes
recent improvements in corporate governance regulation,
makes recommendations of policy and institutional
strengthening, and provides a benchmark against which to
measure corporate governance in Azerbaijan. Note that the
report covers only publicly-traded companies, although many
of the recommendations may also be applicable to
closely-held companies and state-owned enterprises. The
report identifies three steps for improvement of corporate
governance in Azerbaijan. They are: 1. Institution building,
including strengthening of enforcement and independence of
the Statistical Common Services; 2. Legal reform,
specifically taking stock of recent legal changes and
assuring their smooth interaction and functioning; and 3.
Focus on several key areas for enforcement: related party
transactions; reporting and transparency, including
ownership disclosure and annual reporting; supervisory
boards and other company governance organs; continued
enforcement of bank corporate governance rules; and
awareness raising. |
