It's not just about the money, governance panellists say

Singapore

IT'S NOT just about the money, corporate governance experts and top executives said yesterday at the launch of the Singapore results of the Asean Corporate Governance Scorecard assessment.

Companies and executives should not be blinded by profits and forget the human imperative for good governance. And, especially in Singapore's context, investors should not be too focused on the amounts paid to executives, but should instead assess how those amounts reflect accountability, the experts and executives said.
