Corporate governance and regulation research @SwinburneLaw in 2024 have become part of @Swinburne dynamic Social Innovation Research Institute! Read about us here & register for updates: swinburne.edu.au/research/in…
When short of funds, tardy filing of fin statements with ASIC is not a wise course. Recent infringement notices for late filing of accounts are 6 figures in size! #corpgov

Great case study to watch for corporate law students. Featuring in my curriculum in 2027.

Trust takes many forms. Investor trust or loss of trust is much easier to identify, but has a long tail. Firmus started from a low base (CEO - insider trading conviction). Tempting to blame Aust investors but big (US) investors blinked first.

And to all of this add the cloud over its governance & CEO arrangements. Retail investors (Ms & Ds) underline imp of trust & confidence in this company. #corpgov

Share this view. Disappointed that it needs to be said. #corpgov

This is a troubling development. Possibly u/st/able for a fledging outfit but not MinRes. Independent judgment compromised by risk/reward factors. #corpgov

Murkier by the moment. Not only for Hinchcliffe but also Steven’s judgment here looking pretty average. #corpgov

Read this and you know who holds the voting power in this publicly listed company. #corpgov

NOW is the time to point the finger at senior management for clear risk management failures driven by cost cutting & focus on bottom line. To ask the Telstra Board what disciplinary/ remuneration consequence this will have. #corpgov

Thks Dean Paatsch @OMgovernance. Agreed extra resourcing needed but proposed licencing of auditors likely to result in ind levy that will provide that. Second, audit surveillance via supertech will change scope & scale of reviews.

A cultural overall for a 'long suffering business'. Big tip: start with a safe place of work; and make provision for psycho-social claims. Improved culture seems a long way off here unless you equate culture with profitability of course. #corpgov

Wins before sins? Yesterday’s hearing made me start to wonder whether this firm can survive this scandal.

The pt about other things to worry about is valid, but I don’t support the gender recommendations. Crummy. #corpgov

This is v disappointing & sounds v like a ‘let’s save the blokes’ seats’ decision advocated by a bloke. #corpgov

The signs were there, investors were warned. They wld not listen. They wanted the Elon show. They got it.

Always enjoy columns from @AFR’s JT but I think we need to call a spade a spade here. The criticism/daggers ought to be directed at Aust business, their proclivity to take profits & their reluctance to invest in R&D. #productivity

Better have real answers ready. These hearings are not pretty & a trap for the crisis management PR spin merchants. #telstra

You wld surely regret putting your prestigious legal name to this.
