Abstract

Scandals associated with corporate frauds in United States in the last two years have augmented aversion to risk mainly in development countries. The correlation between corporate governance and credit/investments is now closely monitored by banks, institutional investors and development institutions. Medium sized companies are realizing that to reduce the cost of capital, attract investments and set up new strategic alliances are linked to their transparency level. Therefore, in order to become competitive in this new new marketplace any company, including the companies structured as family business, must gradually be restructured in order to encompass corporate governance concepts.
