- Private equity, corporate governance and vampires
  Posted by SoxFirst
  The reports of private equity's death are exaggerated. More to the point, private equity is like a vampire. Cheap debt and money sloshing into the system means that tighter credit controls will not kill of private equity. Like a vampire, it will stay Undead, just waiting for the right moment to strike.

- 10 steps to an IT governance disaster
  Posted by SoxFirst
  Go for speed and not quality. Keep senior management in the dark. Over-complicate things so no-one understands.Create a culture of failure where poor IT processes are the norm and where accountability is avoided at all costs. These are just some of the 10 steps you need to create an IT governance disaster.

- German corporate governance and the Siemens saga
  Posted by SoxFirst
  The unusual way German boards are set up with directors that include union reps. It’s contributed to the bigger problem with German corporate governance. Siemens is one example. Time for change.

- Gatekeeper lawyers

  Lawyers should be turned into corporate governance gatekeepers. Put them in charge of the company's Stock Exchange filings. They would have to certify that all the statements were true and correct and they would have to sign a statement saying they weren’t aware of hidden booby traps in the accounts.
