Επιτροπή ΚεφαλαιαγοράςAbstract
Corporate Governance refers to the system by which companies are governed and the existence of rules aims at protecting stakeholders and especially investors. In the past, shortcomings in corporate governance systems have resulted in the collapse of companies with more or less consequences for the investing public and the economy in general. These shortcomings as well as the constant evolution of the environment in which companies operate and the way of raising capital demand the evolution of the rules that govern corporate governance. In this context, based on international experience, best practices and procedures are developed.
The new regulations set by Law 4706/2020 seeks to modernize the legal framework, strengthen corporate governance processes and make the capital market more efficient. The implementation of the new provisions imposed by the new law has significant implications for the corporate governance of listed companies and in particular for the role and procedures of the board of directors and internal control, while implications also exist for the Hellenic Capital Market Commission which is an important body for providing guidance, the supervision and regulation of stock market issues.
The purpose of this work is to study the effects of Law 4706/2020 on corporate governance, internal control and the Hellenic Capital Market Commission. The concept, importance and goals of corporate governance are first examined. Then the situation in Greece is examined in terms of the basic legislative developments in relation to corporate governance and the situation on a practical level for companies. The second chapter of the company presents the provisions of the law on corporate governance and the main changes that entail for listed companies. It also presents the manner of determination and the amount of fines in case of violation of the new legislation.
