Thesis

"An Examination of the Relationship between Corporate Governance, Financial Reporting Credibility and Corporate Transparency in a Transition Economy: Evidence from Kuwait", supervised by Prof Magdy Abdel–Kader.

Abstract

During the last ten years, many financial scandals happened around world.  Enron and Worldcom Companies work as examples of that.

Corporate Governance has received tremendous interest on research agenda, being an enormously important topic for shareholders and creditors in economic corporations. By definition, corporate governance is "the ways in which the suppliers of finance to corporations assure themselves of getting a return on their investment" (Shleifer & Vishny, 1997). This research will investigate the role of Corporate Governance in the transparency for disclosure of financial reporting credibility for the Kuwait's companies. The fluctuations in the stock exchange and banking sector in Kuwait that have afflicted Kuwait recently could be an example of the lack of transparency and credible financial data. Therefore, this research will be a value for Kuwait's companies.
