Resumen

El propósito de este artículo es examinar los requisitos y los éxitos de la Nueva Arquitectura Financiera Internacional (NAFI) sobre transparencia y gobierno corporativo desde una perspectiva global, con enfoque especial en África. En los últimos años, la transparencia, la rendición de cuentas y el buen gobierno se han convertido en temas clave con muchos países de todo el mundo después de haber adoptado las Normas  Internacionales de Información Financiera (NIIF) y los códigos de gobierno corporativo. Los resultados de estas iniciativas han sido poco convincentes. La investigación de escritorio se utiliza para recopilar literatura y los datos sobre el cumplimiento de los códigos de gobierno corporativo y las Normas Internacionales de Información Financiera (NIIF) y otros requisitos NAFI. En este estudio se estableció que, a pesar de las muchas iniciativas regionales y globales por parte del Banco Mundial y los organismos reguladores pertinentes, el cumplimiento con las NIIF y la gobernabilidad en algunas partes de África es todavía para llegar a su mejor momento y directrices no se siguen completamente dando lugar a oportunidades de mejora y ajustes de políticas. Esta investigación tiene implicaciones y usos tanto para instituciones como reguladores globales y locales que se ocupan de la estabilidad económica y el crecimiento como el Banco Mundial, los bancos centrales, los mercados de capital y los consejos de administración de las empresas y el gobierno en general. Los hallazgos contribuyen a los debates de gobierno al proporcionar perspectivas adicionales desde África sobre el cumplimiento de las normas de contabilidad y códigos en una región donde la investigación y la gestión empresarial y las cuestiones de presentación de informes son todavía factores de confusión.
