Corporate Governance Optimisation

Corporate Governance Optimisation introduces an innovative approach to addressing some of the most pressing challenges in modern corporate governance. Combining game theory, mechanism design and hedge accounting, this research monograph offers a comprehensive framework for resolving agency conflicts, mitigating financial risks and improving organisational performance. At the heart of this book is an integrated model that unites governance, risk management and hedge accounting, demonstrating how these elements work together to address information asymmetry, incentive misalignment and decision-making complexities. Grounded in rigorous research and real-life data, the book provides practical insights into how hedge accounting can stabilise financial outcomes, support effective governance and enhance corporate value.
Designed for academics, researchers and professionals in accounting, finance and corporate governance, this book bridges theory and practice, offering a robust foundation for understanding and applying advanced governance models. It is particularly valuable for those interested in how mathematical frameworks like game theory can be used to solve real-world corporate challenges. While rooted in financial optimisation, the book's findings have broad implications for policy, strategy and risk management in diverse organisational contexts.
