Caroline's latest book (published in January 2009)
has received the following endorsements:
"Anyone following the events surrounding the financial turmoil in 2007 and 2008 has good reason to wonder if corporate governance is working. Caroline Oliver’s latest book provides a route map to an innovative system of governance that boards should find well worth considering and even trying, it also provides many clues as to how some of the recent financial sector problems could have been prevented. Shareholders too should be interested in this book as it is about them, describing a system for how boards steer their organisations in their owners’ interests."
Paul Moxey Head of Corporate Governance and Risk Management
Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (Global)
"What a truly outstanding and thought-provoking book. It has changed how I work with Boards overnight and forever! If we all took the advice within the pages of this book, then organisations would deliver greater value to their owners and be better places to work."
Dr. Jay Bevington Director Assurance and Advisory Public Sector Deloitte and Touche LLP
This is a great read. Such a book is long overdue, it is comprehensive, accessible and fills a big gap in the market.
Geraldine Peacock, CBE Former Chair of The Charity Commission.
