ANALYSIS OF THE EFFICIENCY OF CORPORATE GOVERNANCE OF AGRO-INDUSTRIAL ENTERPRISES

Abstract

The article assesses the efficiency of corporate governance in the largest integrated enterprises of the agricultural sector of Ukraine. The research was conducted using the methods of induction and deduction, comparative analysis and theoretical generalization. The main provisions of large enterprises of the agricultural sector of Ukraine and their experience in implementing corporate governance were studied. The author has developed algorithms (methods) for assessing the corporate governance rating with the relevant classification areas of assessment and indicators for assessing the relevant areas, a four-level rating scale for assessing the level of formation of the corporate governance institution in integrated agricultural formations (agroholdings) of Ukraine. It is established that the main characteristic components of the assessment of the level of corporate governance are: supervisory board, board of directors, committees, corporate secretary, audit committee, charter, etc. It is determined that agriholdings whose shares are listed on international stock exchanges meet the highest level of corporate governance standards, the level of which reaches the maximum value. It is also established that this level is ensured mainly by compliance with corporate governance standards introduced by international stock exchanges (Warsaw and London). The weighted average level of corporate governance in integrated agrarian formations (agroholdings) of Ukraine is at an unsatisfactory level, which causes significant risks for shareholders and investors. It is proved that the existing theoretical and practical provisions and recommendations for the formation and development of the institution of corporate governance in integrated formations have been deepened and new theoretical and practical provisions and recommendations for the formation and development of the institution of corporate governance in integrated enterprises in the agricultural sector have been developed. The obtained practical results are a recommendation base and are aimed at solving the problems of formation and development of the institution of corporate governance of integrated enterprises in the agricultural sector, can be used by state institutions to improve the existing institutional support for the development of economic entities. The results of the research can be used by the legislative and executive bodies of the country, as well as by agrarian organizations engaged in production, harvesting and processing of products, and creation of a market system for dissemination of agricultural knowledge and information.
