ASX Principles and Recommendations Corporate governance is a dynamic force which continues to evolve. In March 2003, the ASX Corporate Governance Council released its Principles of Good Corporate Governance and Best Practice Recommendations (ASX Principles). These original ASX Principles provided a framework for good corporate governance. These principles have since been revised following wide consultation to include eight core principles and 27 specific recommendations and came into effect from 1 January 2008. All ASX listed companies are required to provide a statement in the annual report disclosing the extent to which they have followed the ASX Principles in the reporting period. Where companies have not followed all the ASX Principles they must identify those ASX Principles that have not been followed and give reasons for not following them.
