Abstract

The “comply or explain” approach is basically characterized by voluntary compliance with the recommended code provisions and give explanation in particular circumstances if good governance can be achieved by other means. Although there are many practical obstacles which prevent the existing “comply or explain” approach to function in an optimal fashion, its existence is still of significance value to improve the quality of corporate governance alongside with other statutory rules. Instead of focusing on the compliance rate, more attention should be paid to improving the quality of explanations, and shareholders are encouraged to engage more in monitoring the appropriateness of the deviation of the provisions.
