 "This valuable book is a practical and up-to-date guide on the implementation of corporate governance principles. The book is a must for any company director."
— Quoted from a review by Juanita Steenekamp CA(SA) in Accountancy SA.

"Tom Wixley and Geoff Everingham are deeply steeped in the theory of corporate governance and have also practised for extended lengths of time as non-executive directors of major South African companies. The result is this unique book which looks at corporate governance from both a global and South African perspective and is a must for both students and practitioners".

 "The principles of good corporate governance will increasingly become the standard by which the directors and executives of public companies are judged, not merely by the market but also by the law. Public companies, their directors, executives and professional advisers who ignore this work, will do so at their peril."
— Wim Trengove SC
