This year we undertook research in the area of Governance in Company Groups (in collaboration with Professor Mak Yuen Teen and published by CPA Australia in July 2014) and The Corporate Governance of Major Asia Pacific Insurance Companies (in collaboration with Professor Mak Yuen Teen and the Iclif Governance Centre - due for publication in early 2015).
The aim of our research is to support thought leadership in areas broadly related to the behavioural aspects of corporate governance. We would be most interested to hear from organisations and individuals who are interested in research collaborations in 2015.
We support the Singapore Statement on Research Integrity which has been widely adopted internationally.

Executive Summary
Following the global financial crisis, bank regulators in many countries have introduced significant reforms with the aim of improving the corporate governance of banks. These reforms are significantly influenced by promulgations from global regulatory bodies such as the Basel Committee and the Financial Stability Board.
In this first ever study of the current corporate governance practices of large Asian banks, we examine a number of areas, including corporate and ownership structures, board structure and practices, executive and director remuneration, risk management, audits and implementation of whistleblowing policies.
The study covered 50 of the largest publicly-listed banks and bank holding companies by total assets which had up-to-date disclosures on key corporate governance practices. These 50 largest banks are from 10 Asian countries: China, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan, and Thailand. Data were obtained primarily from the latest annual reports available in December 2012, supplemented by other sources such as company websites and regulatory filings which are publicly accessible.
