- W185497662 abstract "Corporate governance mechanisms: The Australian continent was inhabited by the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people before the European settlement began in the late 1700s. Since then, Australia has continued to receive waves of migrants, which sees its population grow in size and diversity. A federation of six states formed the Commonwealth of Australia in 1901 under a single constitution. The Australian legal system originates from the common law system of the UK. The Australian rule of law is based on judicial precedents. Hence, the rules for company conducts are based on common law principles including segregation of powers, fairness and integrity. Corporate ownership in Australia is relatively concentrated, though principal–agent is still the main governance issue present in the corporate sector. Therefore, companies and managers are constantly under the scrutiny of an active takeover market. Investor protection is well defined and enforced because corporate governance principles are explicitly expressed and implemented in the country. Corporate ownership is moderately concentrated among the largest companies listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX). Relative to the US and UK, the Australian corporate ownership is more concentrated. For example, half of the banking companies had an owner with a shareholding greater than 50 percent (Shehzad et al., 2010). Although financial institutions are the dominant shareholder group in Australia, it is common that many of them are acting as the nominees for local or overseas investors (Chaikin, 2005), which can conceal the true extent of corporate ownership. Other investors such as family and individual shareholders are also present. Australian companies follow a non-prescriptive set of corporate governance principles, which are based on enhancing integrity, transparency, accountability, fairness and performance, drafted by the ASX Corporate Governance Council. Companies adopt the “comply or explain” approach when implementing these principles." @default.
