developing countries. Professor James West from North America argued that one of the key needs for developing
countries was to implement rigorous systems of corporate governance to underpin investor confidence in businesses
in those countries. If they did not, he warned, there would be no lasting economic growth as potential foreign inward
investors would be discouraged from investing.
In reply, Professor Amy Leroi, herself from a developing country, reported that many developing countries are
discussing these issues at governmental level. One issue, she said, was about whether to adopt a rules-based or a
principles-based approach. She pointed to evidence highlighting a reduced number of small and medium sized initial
public offerings in New York compared to significant growth in London. She suggested that this change could be
attributed to the costs of complying with Sarbanes-Oxley in the United States and that over-regulation would be the
last thing that a developing country would need. She concluded that a principles-based approach, such as in the
United Kingdom, was preferable for developing countries.
Professor Leroi drew attention to an important section of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act to illustrate her point. The key
requirement of that section was to externally report on – and have attested (verified) – internal controls. This was, she
argued, far too ambitious for small and medium companies that tended to dominate the economies of developing
countries.
Professor West countered by saying that whilst Sarbanes-Oxley may have had some problems, it remained the case
that it regulated corporate governance in the ‘largest and most successful economy in the world’. He said that rules
will sometimes be hard to follow but that is no reason to abandon them in favour of what he referred to as ‘softer’
approaches.
(a) There are arguments for both rules and principles-based approaches to corporate governance.
Required:
(i) Describe the essential features of a rules-based approach to corporate governance; (3 marks)
His friends, however, said that underneath he was charming and only outwardly seemed a little strange. They explained that he was sometimes very shy and reserved, and sometimes quite the opposite. His temper was unpredictable.
In view of this, it is not surprising that when a young female journalist was sent to interview him in his tiny house, she felt extremely nervous. But the interview went worse than expected, When she arrived, Mr. Hummer was sitting at a small table, and could hardly be seen for a forest of painting-brushed in pots of water. In the middle of these was a bottle of whisky. From time to time he poured some into a paint stained mug and drank it rapidly.
He smiled politely and said that of course he didn’t mind answering some questions. Putting on what she hoped was a suitably impressive voice, the girl asked him what purpose in society he thought he fulfilled as a painter. She wanted to know whether he saw his duty as a painter to be teaching people or entertaining them. The only response was a movement of surprise in the eyebrows among the painting—brushed and then a dry laugh. Finally the painter broke the silence by asking slowly what on earth she expected as an answer to such a question. He went on by saying that he didn’t see why he should have to justify himself. He merely painted pictures, and left other people to say what they meant and why he had done them.
Now it was the girl's turn to look astonished. This was not the way Important Contemporary Artists were supposed to speak, as they always had their own theories.
Before the age of seventy, Mr. Hummer______.
A．had avoided noisy exhibitions
B．had exhibited only small paintings
C．had never exhibited many paintings
D．had attracted no attention
A.shades
B.carpets
C.curtains
D.Masks
My Love, My Umbrella (excerpt) by John McGahern It was the rain, the constant weather of this city, made my love inseparable from the umbrella, a black umbrella, white stitching on the seams of the imitation leather over the handle, the metal point bent where it was caught in Mooney's grating as we raced for the last bus to the garage out of Abbey Street. The band was playing when we met, the Blanchardstown Fife and Drum. They were playing Some day he'll come along/The man I love/And he'll be big and strong/The man I love at the back of the public lavatory on Burgh Quay, facing a few persons on the pavement in front of the Scotch House. It was the afternoon of a Sunday. 'It is strange, the band,' I said; her face flinched away, and in the same movement back, turned to see who'd spoken. Her skin under the black hair had the glow of health and youth, and the solidity at the bones of the hips gave promise of a rich seed-bed. 'It's strange,' she answered, and I was at once anxious for her body. The conductor stood on a wooden box, continually breaking off his conducting to engage in some running argument with a small grey man by his side, but whether he waved his stick jerkily or was bent in argument seemed to make no difference to the players. They turned their pages. The music plodded on, Some day he'll come along/The man I love/And he'll be big and strong/The man I love. At every interval they looked towards the clock, Mooney's clock across the river. 'They're watching the clock,' I said. 'Why？' her face turned again. 'They'll only play till the opening hour.' I too anxiously watched the clock. I was afraid she'd go when the band stopped. Lights came on inside the Scotch House. The music hurried. A white-aproned barman, a jangle of keys into the quickened music, began to unlock the folding shutters and with a resounding clash drew them back. As the tune ended the conductor signalled to the band that they could put away their instruments, got down from his box, and started to tap the small grey man on the shoulder with the baton as he began to argue in earnest. The band came across the road towards the lighted globes inside the Scotch House, where already many of their audience waited impatiently on the slow pulling of the pints. The small grey man carried the conductor's box as they passed in together. 'It is what we said would happen.' 'Yes.' The small family cars were making their careful way home across the bridge after their Sunday outings to their cold ham and tomato and lettuce, the wind blowing from the mouth of the river, gulls screeching above the stink of its low tide, as I forced the inanities towards an invitation. 'Would you come with me for a drink？' 'Why？' She blushed as she looked me full in the face. 'Why not？' 'I said I'd be back for tea.' 'We can have sandwiches.' 'But why do you want me to？' 'I'd like very much if you come. Will you come？' 'All right I'll come but I don't know why.' It was how we began, the wind blowing from the mouth of the river while the Blanchardstown Fife and Drum downed their first thirst-quencher in the Scotch House.
