Maxwell – The Failure of Corporate Governance

Philip Stiles and Bernard Taylor

Corporate Governance: An International Review, 1993, vol. 1, issue 1, 34-45

Abstract: This article examines a case of fraud – the Maxwell case – to assess the implications for corporate governance in Britain. The analysis of the case shows how Robert Maxwell was able to avoid the established network of regulations and controls. The authors then make a number of recommendations which suggest how this kind of fraud may be prevented in the future.
