In that context, the subsequent changes in governance will be evaluated regarding their real risk-reducing impact or rather their potentially adverse consequences for the current financial environment. In order to prepare a sound discussion, there will be at first a definition of corporate governance and an overview of relating theories, to then come to discuss corporate governance issues as contributors to the financial crisis. Afterwards, the corporate governance structures after the financial crisis is evaluated and a conclusion is drawn.
