The Corporate Governance Committee was set up in May 1991 by the Financial Reporting Council, the Stock Exchange and the accountancy profession in response to continuing concern about standards of financial reporting and accountability, particularly in light of the BCCI and Maxwell cases.
The committee was chaired by Sir Adrian Cadbury and had a remit to review those aspects of corporate governance relating to financial reporting and accountability. The final report 'The financial aspects of corporate governance' (usually known as the Cadbury Report) was published in December 1992 and contained a number of recommendations to raise standards in corporate governance.

Corporate governance: A practical guide to the legal frameworks and international codes of practice
Calder, Alan (Kogan Page, 2008)
‘In the 21st century, corporate governance has become critical for all medium and large organizations. Those without a governance strategy face significant risks; those with one perform measurably better. But what is corporate governance, and what do directors of companies – both quoted and unquoted – need to know? This book aims to provide a clear description for managers and executives that will enable them to identify the practical steps necessary to meet today's corporate governance requirements.’
