Abstract
Description
This paper is aimed at explaining why higher concentrations of the ownership of large firms do not
necessarily and automatically facilitate lower risk taking levels – where there is scope for the abuse
of powers. As well as illustrating why effective corporate governance systems are essential in
facilitating high levels of monitoring, accountability and disclosure, the paper also highlights why a
consideration of the costs of ownership concentration and its benefits, is required in determining
whether corporate governance systems will be effective or not.
