Case Studies of Good Corporate Governance Practices Companies Circle of the Latin American Corporate Governance Roundtable 2nd Edition International Finance Corporation (IFC) The International Finance Corporation (IFC) is part of the World Bank Group and was established in 1956 to encourage private sector-led growth in developing coun- tries. It does this by financing private sector projects, helping companies mobilize financing in international markets, and providing advisory services and technical assis- tance to companies and governments. IFC’s practical experience with structuring investments, appraising potential investees and nominating corporate directors allows it to put corporate governance principles into action. IFC’s focus on good corporate governance practices in client companies helps it both to manage risk and to add value to firms in emerging markets. Organisation of Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) The Organisation of Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) is a unique forum where the governments of 30 democracies work together to address the economic, social and environmental challenges of globalisation, in close co-operation with many other economies. One of these challenges is corporate governance, a topic on which the OECD has developed internationally agreed Principles of Corporate Governance, which have served as a basis for regional policy dialogue programmes throughout the world. The Latin American Roundtable on Corporate Governance, which meets annually, is one such initiative, organized by the OECD in partnership with the IFC/World Bank Group and with the support of the Global Corporate Governance Forum. In this way, the OECD provides a setting where governments and other stakeholders can compare experience, seek answers to common problems, iden- tify good practice and work to co-ordinate domestic and international policies.
