Ratings (Corporate Governance)
Warning: Not all ratings firms are created equally, nor do they use the same criteria for rating companies. Fannie Mae, for example, got a gold star (nine out of ten) when rated by Standard & Poors in late 2002 but scored below average by GovernanceMetrics. International. Institutional Shareholder Services (ISS) won't even give them a score because, as a government sponsored entity, Fannie Mae isn't required to abide by US securities laws. S&P takes a different approach from the other two since they rate at a company's invitation only. While this provides them with access to nonpublic information, I believe they also agree not to release certain ratings without the company's consent.
- Audit Integrity. "Audit Integrity proprietary modeling effectively detects and measures fraud and transparency-related risks in over 8,500 publicly traded corporations."
- Board Analyst. "Research shows that companies identified as High Risk by Board Analyst are nearly twice as likely to encounter problems as companies identified as Low Risk." Among factors considered are: Board Composition, CEO Compensation, Shareholder Responsiveness, Accounting, Strategic Decisionmaking, Litigation & Regulatory Problems and Takeover Defenses.
