| Summary |
The demise of Forge Group Ltd (FGL) IS used to examine corporate governance, management compensation and ownership, risk, and ethics. Forge Group Ltd was a successful engineering company that collapsed within 12 months of a share price peak. The importance of good fundamental internal reporting is demonstrated by giving students the benefit of hindsight. The visceral feel of a corporate collapse with real investors losing money highlights the relevance and value of accounting and basic financial management. This case and companion case A analyse FGL’s collapse. Case A focuses on the “numbers” by examining the financial statements, working capital management, and growth. Case B focuses on directors’ duties, management compensation and ownership, risk, and ethics. Independently or together, the cases can form the basis for a discussion about the governance of corporations, including reporting, transparency, risk, compensation, and ethics. Basic-level students would be expected to explain and discuss key corporate governance concepts such as director duties, management compensation and ownership, risk, and ethics. Intermediate-level students would be expected to apply concepts such as director duties, management compensation and ownership, risk, and ethics to a real-world scenario. And advanced-level students would be expected to critique and draw conclusions on the application of director duties, management compensation and ownership, risk, and ethics to a real-world scenario |
