Notes

  1. 1.

    It is estimated that some 60 % of large US businesses, with a turnover of 20 billion dollars or more, have invested the equivalent of 100,000 man hours (comparable to the full time employment of 70 people for one year) in order to comply with the compliance obligations set, in particular, by Section 404 of the Sarbanes–Oxley Act.

  2. 2.

    In 1999 the Corporate Governance Principles were approved, on the request of the OECD Council of Ministers (later updated in 2002). The World Bank, the International Regulations Bank and the International Monetary Fund took part in the process as observers.
