Lately Corporate Governance become a word that more and more buzzed. Many people ask, how do we know whether a company is already applying the principles of corporate governance is good? It seems not difficult for companies to declare that it has to obey the principle - the basic principles of Corporate Governance that reflects the principles of transparency, accountability, accountability, and fairness. However, the real need to do a systematic appraisal or assessment to ensure that the company has earnestly implement the Corporate Governance.
For that, actually there are already some tools (tools) that can be used as an independent assessment (self assessment) whether the company's Corporate Goverance in an already good. One to conduct independent assessments were developed by FCGI (Forum for Corporate Governance in Indonesia). tools that form a set of questionnaires that can be filled solely by the company and subsequently the company provide an objective assessment or scoring to answer it.
Through the questionnaire, the company can make an assessment or assessments in several areas of Corporate Governance at which each field was done weighting. Here we take a weighting in the field of the rights of shareholders owning the largest percentage. We can provide an assessment of whether the company has:
• Conduct the AGM within 6 months after the end of the fiscal year in accordance with article 66 paragraph 2 of Law of Limited Liability Company
• Delivering to the Shareholders notification about AGM at least 28 days prior to the implementation of the GMS
• Provide encouragement to the Shareholders to attend the AGM and exercise their right to vote
• Provide adequate opportunity for Shareholders to ask questions at the AGM
• And so on
Furthermore, given the assessment, for example the value 5 for each "yes" and 0 for each answer "no." So, for example from 10 questions in the field of the Rights of Shareholders of the companies answered "yes" as much as 6 times and say "no" 4 times then in that field the company will obtain a score:
(6x5) (4x0) = 30 (the maximum value of 50 or 10 x 5)
