Extending the boundaries of IQ: Can collaboration with information management improve corporate governance
by Heather Maguire
International Journal of Information Quality (IJIQ), Vol. 2, No. 1, 2008

Abstract: The increasing volume of information handled by organisations has increased pressure on boards to ensure that legislative, accountability, business and cultural requirements are met. Recent negative media coverage has increased this pressure for improved accountability and transparency. Concurrently, agency theory has highlighted problems, such as moral hazards and adverse selection, resulting from information asymmetry between boards and CEOs. Effective records management can assist organisations in meeting demands for accountability, transparency and compliance and in reducing information asymmetry. This paper proposes that organisations incorporate records management functionality into criteria used to assess information quality in order to improve corporate governance mechanisms.
