Last week, the NYSE Euronext released the final report of the NYSE—sponsored Commission on Corporate Governance. The report identified 10 core governance principles.

The Commission on Corporate Governance was established in the fall of to examine core governance principles that could be widely supported by issuers, investors, directors, experts, and other market participants.

These stakeholders have different viewpoints on governance issues, but the NYSE hoped they could find a consensus. In Section IV of the report, they dive deeper into the roles of the board of directors, company management, and shareholders, recognizing the interdependence and inter-relatedness of the three groups.

I found this to be the most interesting section. They lay out rights, responsibilities and expectations. The Commission believes that failures of corporate governance were not the sole reason for the financial crisis of , and more broadly believes that most of the thousands of public companies in this country are well governed, with hard-working and ethical boards and shareholders who are involved in the companies. This does not mean that the system is perfect, but it does mean that before further fundamental change is sought, all parties considering such change should recognize the strengths of the current system and the benefits it provides to investors and the economy.
