Dialogue in corporate governance

The Dialogue in corporate governance initiative aims to facilitate better understanding of pressure and opportunities that arise in increasingly international capital markets.

It encourages dialogue around business, investment accountancy and policy issues relating to corporate governance through publications, roundtables and face-to-face meetings.  The aim is to reinvigorate the study of corporate governance, moving it on from introspective debate about procedure and regulatory compliance.

Dialogue in corporate governance is convened by the ICAEW and its purpose is to:

• challenge commonly held assumptions
• identify fundamental questions
• set challenges for future research
