MPRA Paper from University Library of Munich, Germany

Abstract: This paper analyses the relationship between the size of minerals companies and corporate governance in South Africa. This is achieved by augmenting and comparing corporate governance ratings of companies in the minerals sector to that of companies in the other sectors of the economy. The results show a statistically significant autonomous corporate governance as well as a statistically significant difference in corporate governance of the sampled companies' measures of transparency, required disclosure and additional disclosure, based on size. The results, however, show no statistically significant difference in corporate governance between companies in the minerals sector compared to those in other sectors of the economy as well as no statistically significant difference in corporate governance of the sampled companies' measures of market value, market performance and financial performance based on size. The paper, nevertheless, recommends a continued encouragement of good corporate governance to all companies, including those in the minerals industry, given the adverse consequences of the recent corporate scandals.
