ST. JOHN'S Antigua, July 2nd, 2012 -- Paul Ashe, Supervisor of International Banks and Trust Corporations at Antigua and Barbuda’s Financial Services Regulatory Commission (FSRC), on Saturday received his doctoral degree in Business Administration from the University of Phoenix, in a graduation ceremony attended by hundreds of graduates and their proud family members.
Dr. Ashe, whose dissertation topic, entitled, “Corporate Governance in Antigua and Barbuda: A Case Study of Five State Owned Enterprises (SOE),” is a comprehensive study on how boards of directors implement and monitor corporate governance in SOEs in Antigua and Barbuda.
“In view of the overall importance of SOEs to the economies of developing countries in general and small island developing States such as Antigua and Barbuda in particular, I hope that the findings from my thesis will act as catalyst for scholars from our twin-island State and beyond to expand on the base of knowledge on corporate governance in SOEs within CARICOM,” said Dr. Ashe.
Antigua and Barbuda’s newest scholar noted that the pace of implementing a good corporate governance framework within SOEs continue to lag the pace at which leaders within the private sector implement and monitor corporate governance.
Dr. Ashe is looking forward to sharing the findings of his dissertation with leaders of SOEs and the public within the Caribbean. He opined that there are numerous opportunities to improve the corporate governance framework within SOEs, beginning with a process that starts with how leaders select and appoint directors to the boards of SOEs.
