Kozminski Center for Corporate Governance
Our Goals
Ko¼miński Center for Corporat Governance is based in Warsaw, Poland. The aim of our research agenda is to develop understanding of economic phenomena involved in corporate governance, and create effective solutions in this area.
Our Mission
Ko¼miński Center for Corporate Governance is a longterm research programme dedicated to international, creative thinking about corporate governance. The Center is a forum for discussion and exchange of experiences. It serves not only academic researchers, but also business leaders and institutions responsible for economics policy. Researchers affiliated with the center come from different schools of thought and use different approches to corporate governance research.
Our Research
In 2008, the Center was awarded a grant by the Ministry of Science to research board committees. The research project, titled Audit and remuneration committees: mechanisms for increasing supervisory board effectiveness was concluded in 2010 with a conference Report on Corporate Governance and the publication of a monograph on board committees. The topic is of great interest to the corporate governance community in Poland, because audit committees have become mandatory for listed companies in 2009.
The Center brings together research which used to be conducted in various departments. By doing so we have achieved a wider perspective on the issue of corporate governance. Our faculty conduct research into theory of corporate governance, as well as applied solutions for entreprises. While our main focus is on corporate governance in Poland, we strive to develop an agenda of international, comparative research in corporate governance. The main themes of our research include: accounting and auditing, financial markets and investors, board structure and policy, regulations and economic policy, global perspective to corporate governance.

Their work is set in an international context by co-operation with institutions in Europe and around the world.
