Describe and explain the four broad roles of NEDs identified in the Higgs Guidance (2003).

Question

Prestige’s Board acknowledges that by adopting and implementing the highest standards of
corporate governance, this sets the standards and values for the entire Company. The
Company seeks to comply with best practice in all areas of corporate governance and
continues to review the Company’s procedures to maintain proper control and
accountability.
Required

There are nine members on Prestige’s Board of Directors. They include the Chairman, Chief Executive, three executive directors, and four non-executive directors (NEDs). Describe and explain four broad roles for NEDs identified in the document published in the UK in 2003, known as the Higgs Guidance.

Answer

Strategy Role:
- NEDs are responsible for contributing to the development of the company’s strategy. By providing an independent perspective, they help the board in shaping and reviewing the strategic direction and long-term plans of the company. NEDs must ensure that strategic decisions are in the best interest of the shareholders and other stakeholders.
Monitoring and Control Role:
- NEDs are tasked with monitoring the performance of the executive management and ensuring that the company is being run efficiently and in accordance with approved policies and standards. This includes overseeing financial performance, internal controls, and risk management procedures. NEDs play a critical role in holding executive directors accountable for their decisions and actions.
Risk Management Role:
- NEDs help to identify key risks facing the business and ensure that appropriate measures are in place to manage those risks. Their independent status allows them to challenge executive decisions and ensure that all significant risks are addressed before the board makes any major decisions.
Corporate Governance Role:
- NEDs ensure that the company adheres to high standards of corporate governance, including compliance with legal and regulatory requirements. They are responsible for ensuring that the board operates transparently and that the interests of minority shareholders and other stakeholders are protected. This role also includes ensuring that the company follows ethical practices and maintains a strong corporate culture.

Explain how Principles V and VI of the OECD Principles of Corporate Governance could be applied at Prestige.

Question

Describe and explain how Principles V and VI of the OECD Principles of Corporate Governance – 2015 Edition, could be applied at Prestige to ensure good corporate governance practices.

Answer

Principle V – Disclosure and Transparency:
- This principle emphasizes the importance of full and accurate disclosure of all material matters related to the company, including financial statements, ownership, and governance structures. At Prestige, applying this principle would involve ensuring that financial reports are transparent, timely, and comply with relevant regulations. Prestige would need to disclose key information such as conflicts of interest, related-party transactions, and executive compensation. Proper application of this principle would build trust among stakeholders and provide them with the information necessary to assess the company’s performance and governance.
Principle VI – Responsibilities of the Board:
- Principle VI highlights the need for the board to be accountable to the company and its shareholders and to act in the best interests of the company. At Prestige, this would involve the board taking responsibility for overseeing the company’s strategic direction, risk management, and overall governance framework. The board must act with due diligence, ensuring that it has appropriate internal controls and that all directors, both executive and non-executive, are held accountable for their actions. The board should also foster an ethical corporate culture and ensure that the company complies with both local and international legal and regulatory requirements.

Describe and explain 5 key issues in corporate governance for Prestige.

Question

Prestige’s Board acknowledges that by adopting and implementing the highest standards of corporate governance, this sets the standards and values for the entire Company. The Company seeks to comply with best practices in all areas of corporate governance and continues to review its procedures to maintain proper control and accountability.

Required:
Describe and explain five key issues in corporate governance that would establish how well or badly Prestige is governed.

Answer

Board Structure and Independence:
- A key issue is the composition of the board, ensuring that there is an appropriate mix of executive and non-executive directors (NEDs). The presence of independent NEDs is crucial in providing an objective perspective and balancing the power of the executive directors. At Prestige, the board’s structure, including the number of independent NEDs, will determine the board’s effectiveness.
Accountability and Transparency:
- Good corporate governance requires transparent decision-making and accountability to shareholders and stakeholders. Prestige must ensure that financial reports, internal controls, and risk management procedures are robust and disclosed accurately. The transparency of the board’s actions and its decisions, especially in areas like remuneration and major investments, will be a measure of good governance.
Risk Management:
- Effective corporate governance includes identifying, assessing, and mitigating risks. Prestige must have strong systems in place to manage operational, financial, and reputational risks. Failure to do so can harm the company’s performance and stakeholder confidence.
Ethical Leadership and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR):
- The board should lead by example in promoting an ethical culture throughout the company. Prestige’s commitment to CSR, environmental sustainability, and ethical decision-making will influence how it is perceived by stakeholders. Poor ethical standards or failure to meet CSR obligations can damage the company’s reputation.
Compliance with Regulations and Laws:
- Ensuring compliance with local and international regulations is essential for good corporate governance. Prestige must ensure that it adheres to corporate governance codes, listing rules, and legal obligations. Failure to comply with relevant laws could result in legal penalties and damage to the company’s reputation.

Evaluate the factors restricting foreign investment despite potential good returns.

Question

With reference to Option Three, evaluate the factors that restrict foreign investment despite the perceived potential for good returns.

Answer

Political Instability:
- Countries with a history of political instability or where there is a risk of sudden government changes or social unrest can deter foreign investors, even if potential returns are high. The risk of expropriation or policy shifts is a significant concern.
Weak Rule of Law:
- In some regions, the enforcement of legal contracts and property rights can be weak or inconsistent. This makes it difficult for foreign investors to have confidence that their investments will be protected, thus limiting their willingness to enter the market.
Regulatory Barriers:
- Excessive regulation, complex bureaucratic processes, or restrictions on foreign ownership can act as a deterrent to investment. Some countries impose barriers such as high tariffs, restrictive labor laws, or industry-specific regulations that make it difficult for foreign companies to operate profitably.
Currency and Exchange Rate Risk:
- Volatile exchange rates can lead to unpredictable returns for foreign investors. If a country’s currency depreciates significantly, it could erode the value of profits made in that country when converted back to the investor’s home currency.
Competition from Local and Other Foreign Firms:
- Intense competition from local companies or other foreign investors, particularly those from emerging economies like China and India, can reduce the attractiveness of foreign direct investment. These competitors may have better local knowledge, lower cost structures, or favorable relationships with government officials, making it hard for new entrants to compete.

Calculate the effective rate of borrowing for three months and explain the advantages of convertible bonds.

Question

With reference to Option Two:

i) What would be its effective rate of borrowing for the three months if US dollar LIBOR is 4.50% at the start of the notional interest period for the FRA? (2 marks)
ii) What are the advantages of Convertible Bonds? (3 marks)

Answer

ii) Advantages of Convertible Bonds:

Lower Interest Rates: Convertible bonds typically offer lower interest rates than traditional bonds because investors are compensated by the option to convert the bonds into shares if the company’s stock performs well.
Deferred Dilution: While convertible bonds offer the potential for equity conversion, dilution of ownership only occurs when the bonds are converted, allowing the company to defer issuing more shares and the impact on earnings per share.
Attractive to Investors: Investors find convertible bonds appealing because they offer the stability of bond payments with the potential upside of converting into equity if the company’s stock price rises.
Access to Capital: For companies like Prestige, convertible bonds can provide access to capital without immediately diluting shareholder equity and may be a more cost-effective option than issuing straight equity.

Calculate various financial ratios including ROCE, EPS, DPS, and TSR based on given financial data.

Question

With reference to the information in Option One available to Prestige as presented by Professor Joseph Laing, a business consultant, calculate the following:

i) Return on Capital Employed (ROCE) (1 mark)
ii) Earnings Per Share (EPS) (1 mark)
iii) Dividend Per Share (DPS) (2 marks)
iv) Total Shareholders Return (TSR) (2 marks)
v) Explain the difference between ROCE and Accounting Rate of Return, their essential features, and relationship (4 marks)

Answer

v) Difference between ROCE and Accounting Rate of Return (ARR):

ROCE is a measure of the return on capital employed in the business, calculated by dividing the profit before interest and tax (PBIT) by the average capital employed. It reflects the overall efficiency of the company in generating profits from its available capital.
ARR, on the other hand, measures the accounting profit from a specific capital project, usually before interest and tax, as a percentage of the capital invested in that project.
The key difference lies in their scope: while ROCE assesses the return from the entire business or company, ARR focuses on specific capital projects. Both are used to evaluate the efficiency of capital usage, but ARR is project-specific, whereas ROCE is company-wide.

Required:
Analyze and advise on an appropriate HR strategy Prestige should adopt to harmonize the organizational structure for effective delivery of the company’s objectives.

Answer

Strategic Workforce Planning:
- Prestige should develop a workforce plan to address the complexities introduced by mergers and acquisitions. This plan should estimate the required number of employees, their skills, and potential future needs based on the company’s objectives, particularly in innovation and technology adoption.
HR Consistency with Corporate Strategy:

Explain how Prestige could leverage ICT using the four broad stages of e-business development to compete.

Question

Prestige’s Board has shifted from their long-standing reluctance to venture into foreign markets to seriously consider the possibility of expansion overseas. An important implication of this decision is that as the size of the market increases, competition becomes international. The main rivals are no longer local suppliers to a domestic market.

Required:
Using the four broad stages of development to a full e-business model, explain how Prestige could leverage ICT to compete.

Answer

Web Presence:
- Prestige could set up a website to display its property listings and services. The website can serve as a platform to provide detailed information about the houses for sale, available property types, and contact details. This would enhance visibility and reach beyond local markets.
E-Commerce:
- Prestige can integrate e-commerce capabilities on its website, allowing potential buyers to make inquiries, schedule viewings, or even complete purchases online. They can also use e-commerce platforms to manage orders and payments from suppliers and partners.
Integrated E-Commerce:
- Prestige could utilize ICT to gather and analyze customer data to understand their preferences and buying behavior. By establishing two-way communication channels, the company could use customer feedback to improve its product offerings and tailor marketing strategies, boosting customer satisfaction.
E-Business:
- ICT can drive Prestige’s business strategy by making e-business a fundamental part of its operations. E-business can enhance efficiency in sales, marketing, procurement, and customer service, aligning business operations with digital transformation to gain a competitive edge in the global market.

However, due to the pressures on the Company, this was never fully implemented.

Explain the potential benefits of resource sharing (configuring an organization’s computing system in such a way that the information and resources within it can be accessed, and remotely accessed, across multiple administrative domains) to Prestige if they adopt common IT systems.

Answer

Ease of Access: A common IT system allows staff to access systems, software, and files from any location with an internet connection. This supports collaborative working across regions.
Accuracy: Having a single source of data ensures accuracy by eliminating multiple similar versions scattered across the organization. This provides reliable information to all divisions.
Cost Savings: Resource sharing avoids duplication of work across divisions. Generating similar data for similar purposes can be costly, so producing data once and sharing it reduces inefficiencies and costs for Prestige.
Facilitates Remote Working: IT resource sharing enables remote working, increasing flexibility. Employees can work from any location, enhancing motivation and potentially creating cost savings by allowing work from home.
Transparency: Resource sharing promotes transparency across the organization by making information easily accessible to all relevant parties. This can improve decision-making and operational efficiency.

SCS – MAR 2024 – L3 – Q2 – Competitive advantage

Apply and appraise Porter’s three strategies for sustaining competitive advantage for Prestige Designers Ltd.

Question

A strategic clock can be used to consider different business strategies for gaining competitive advantage, based on providing a combination of price and perceived benefits. Porter has suggested three strategies for sustaining competitive advantage over rival firms and their products or services. They are a cost leadership strategy, a differentiation strategy, and a focus strategy.

Required:
Apply and appraise how effective the suggested three strategies for sustaining competitive advantage over rival firms would be useful to Prestige. (10 marks)

Answer

Cost Leadership Strategy:
- Prestige must compete effectively on price by offering its housing stock at a lower price than rivals.
- The company should have excellent cost control systems and continually plan for further reductions in costs to remain the cost leader in the market.
- Prestige, being a large company, can benefit from economies of scale compared to smaller competitors.
- To achieve reasonable profit margins, Prestige must sell large volumes of homes at a lower profit margin per unit.
Differentiation Strategy:
- Prestige’s products must be distinct from those of its competitors in a way that customers can recognize, potentially leveraging the “Vintage” brand which focuses on low-cost housing for young buyers.
- The company could innovate and incorporate modern methods of construction (MMC) and sustainability-related methods to differentiate its products.
- Customers might be willing to pay more for homes with unique features and higher perceived value.
- Prestige should invest in delivering superior value to customers, even if that means higher upfront costs.
Focus Strategy:
- Prestige could focus on segmented consumer markets by selecting specific segments, such as the middle-class or younger first-time home buyers, as the primary market for their products.
- The company could concentrate on serving a particular type of customer or region, allowing it to tailor its offerings to the unique demands of that segment.

The concept of good corporate governance is to promote fairness, openness, and transparency in its responsibilities to stakeholders. Good corporate governance practices facilitate economic efficiency by focusing on value-enhancing activities and aid efficient allocation of scarce resources.

Whatever its definition, good corporate governance relates to the fundamental processes whereby ultimate corporate authority and responsibility are shared and exercised by shareholders, directors, and management to ensure that corporate assets provided by investors are being put to appropriate and profitable use.

BCL – Mar 2024 – L1 – Q1c – Human Rights, Hierarchical Structure of Courts

Evaluate the jurisdiction of courts in Ghana regarding fundamental human rights under the 1992 Constitution.

Question

“All the Courts in Ghana have jurisdiction in matters relating to the fundamental Human Rights of every citizen.”

Required:

Explain if the above is a true or false statement in terms of the provisions of the 1992 Constitution of the Republic of Ghana? (2 marks)

Answer

Chapter eleven of the Constitution of the Republic of Ghana 1992, relating to the Judiciary, confers on the High Court under article 140(2) the jurisdiction to enforce the Fundamental Human Rights as guaranteed by the Constitution. The Constitution has earlier in article 33(1) empowered a person who considers that their fundamental human rights and freedoms have, or are being, or are likely to be contravened to apply to the High Court for redress.

The Supreme Court under article 130 (1) of the Constitution of the Republic of Ghana, 1992, provides that subject to the jurisdiction of the High Court in the enforcement of fundamental Human Rights and freedoms as provided in article 33, the Supreme Court has jurisdiction in all matters relating to the enforcement or interpretation of the constitution. Implied therefore, is that the Supreme Court has an interest in matters of Fundamental Human Rights or Freedom.

Thus, under the Constitution of the Republic of Ghana, 1992, it is only the High Court that has jurisdiction in matters relating to Fundamental Human Rights and Freedoms.

Evaluate the likelihood of Agro Club succeeding in their court action against the school authorities for trespassing.

Question

Ten members of a club (Agro Club) trespassed on a piece of land belonging to a public school. The club erected a wooden structure on the land in which they were residing. When the school authorities noticed their presence, they were then asked to vacate the land, but they defied the warning. The school authorities served written notice on them to remove the structure they have erected on the land, and vacate same within five days or risked their structure being demolished. The club decided to take legal action against the school authorities in the Supreme Court.

Required:
Explain whether Agro Club will succeed in their court action. (5 marks)

Answer

The Supreme Court is the apex court of Ghana. Under article 129 of the Constitution of the Republic of Ghana, 1992, the Supreme Court shall be the final court of appeal and have such appellate and other jurisdiction as may be conferred on it by the constitution or any other law.

The claim by the ten (10) members of a club (Agro Club) is based on an alleged infringement of their human rights. The claim of the encroachment is grounded on an alleged infringement of their fundamental human rights by the school authorities under article 18 (1).

The 1992 Constitution states that if the claim is that which borders on infringement of one’s fundamental human rights, the appropriate forum is the High Court and not the Supreme Court.

Article 18 provides that every person has a right to own property either alone or in association with others. It is the right of the ten (10) members to erect a wooden structure on the land in which they were despite their trespass. Acquisition of property follows the law. Having a right to own property does not mean that one can encroach on or occupy any land at all irrespective of who owns that land and then claim it as one’s property.

It therefore constitutes trespass to land for anyone to enter the land of another person without the owner’s consent and refuse to leave when ordered to do so. The occupation by the encroachers of the school’s land without authority is unlawful.

The school can therefore eject them from the land without infringing any law. The ten (10) will fail in their action because their conduct is unilaterally occupying another person’s land.

Commencing the court action in the Supreme Court is inappropriate. The action should have been commenced in the High Court pursuant to article 33.

Article 130 provides for the exclusive original jurisdiction of the Supreme Court in:

i) all matters relating to the enforcement or interpretation of the Constitution; and ii) all matters arising as to whether an enactment was made in excess of the powers conferred on Parliament or any other authority or person by law or under the Constitution.

In the current scenario, the Agro Club decided to take legal action against the school authorities in the Supreme Court. By the provisions of articles 129 and 130 of the Constitution of the Republic of Ghana, the appellate and exclusive original jurisdictions of the Supreme Court do not fall within the matter under consideration. The Agro Club will therefore, not succeed in its court action.

Explain the components of Porter's Five Force Model used to analyze competitive environment and its impact on a company's profitability and strategy.

Question

The Porter’s Five Force Model is regarded as a tool for driving industry competition. The model is used to analyse the competitive environment in terms of five key forces that impact a company’s profitability and influence its strategy.

Required: Explain the components of the Model. (10 marks)

Answer

Components of Porter’s Five Force Model

Rivalry among competing firms This is based on the assumption that there are many competing firms dealing in the same line of product with similar characteristics such as quality, prices, and attractions. When the rival firms are homogenous in terms of products and prices it reduces their competitiveness.
Threat of new entrants New entrants are firms entering an existing market. New entrants may come with new products that have advanced features which are preferred by buyers. New entrants may also enter the market with reduced prices. When such situations are not handled effectively new entrants can take the market share belonging to existing competing firms.
Availability of substitute products Substitute products are products provided by competing firms. These products offer similar services and satisfaction. Customers can easily switch to new products if the existing products are not meeting customer expectations.
Bargaining power of suppliers Suppliers provide the company with materials and components needed for manufacturing the company’s products. Suppliers can be powerful if they supply major components of the company’s products. Again fewer suppliers means limited choices and therefore they have the power to raise prices.
Bargaining power of customers Customers are the individuals and organisations that patronise the goods and services offered by the company. Customers can be powerful if they have alternatives to choose from. Powerful buyers can drive down the prices of products and services offered.

Explain five remedies to solve the fundamental problem of poor customer service in organizations implementing promotional campaigns.

Question

Most organisations implement promotional campaigns with the objective of attracting new customers and retaining existing ones. The sad news is that their objectives are never realised because they fail to solve the fundamental problem of poor customer services.

Required: Explain FIVE (5) remedies which can be used to solve this fundamental problem.

Answer

Remedies to Poor Customer Services

Train customer facing staff: There should be regular training programmes for employees. This will equip them with new knowledge, skills and attitudes that will enable them offer better services to customers.
