Disclosures of deviations from the Code and "comply or explain principle"

Companies that choose to complyone of the reference codes have to disclose their deviations from the code. The purpose of disclosure is to present the specifics of company’s corporate governance to investors and other stakeholders. In doing so, it is vital that the company assesses on its own which code practice will follow. Deviations from the recommendations in the reference code are to be explained in a manner presenting the reasons for having assessed a recommendation as inappropriate for the company and presenting an alternative solution that is more appropriate with respect to the company’s special features. This way, a company provides the transparency of the corporate governance model for the company and enables shareholders, investors and other stakeholders to assess the quality of governance at that company. The purpose of the statement on compliance, therefore, is not to “blindly” follow all provisions of the code, as the  recommendation in the code fails to present the best solution for all companies.
