Funded Activity Summary

Shareholder voting at Australian annual general meetings. The Australian Corporations Act requires public companies to hold an annual general meeting (AGM) of shareholders. This project aims to address several important issues regarding the integrity, transparency, effectiveness and consequences of voting at Australian AGMs in relation to: show of hands voting, AGM characteristics and technology use, and director elections. As there is limited prior research on these matters this project expects to generate significant new knowledge. The project outcomes will provide significant benefits as the findings will support moves towards best practice in governance and thereby enhance public confidence in the integrity of the Australian financial market.
