Directors Personal Liability for Irregular, Wasteful and Fruitless Expenditure in South African (SA) State owned Companies (SOC).

Sauls, Daveraj Landor January 2020 (has links)
Magister Legum - LLM / Directors of companies are the forerunners in overseeing and strategically managing a company.1 The Companies Act 71 of 2008 (the Companies Act) gives the board of directors the legislative obligation for a company to be managed by or under the direction of the board of directors.2 The board of directors have a central role in the decision making and operation of a company; this position also applies to the board of directors of State owned Companies (SOC). This dissertation explores methods to hold directors of SOCs personally liable for irregular, wasteful and fruitless expenditure Irregular expenditure is defined as expenditure that does not comply with the provisions of the Public Finance Management Act 1 of 1999 (PFMA), the State Tender Board Act 86 of 1968 or any legislation that provides for provincial government procedure.3 Fruitless and wasteful expenditure is defined as ‘expenditure which was made in vain and would have been avoided had reasonable care has been exercised’.This research aims to analyse legislative mechanisms put in place that hold directors of SOCs personally liable for irregular, reckless, wasteful and fruitless expenditure. Section 77(2)(b) and 218(2) of the Companies Act contains the legislative basis for the personal liability of directors of SOCs for irregular, wasteful and fruitless expenditure.

Financial assistance to state-owned enterprises by the state in South Africa : a case study of Eskom

Sadiki, Martin 07 1900 (has links)
State-owned enterprises (SOES) exist in South Africa to drive economic development and improve service delivery to the large population. In order for SOES to achieve their mandates, as set out by government through their shareholding department, financial assistance by the state is imperative. In the case of the monopolistic power utility, Eskom, the South African government (SAGO) has 100% ownership which is managed through the Department of Public Enterprises (DPE). This total ownership by the state means that government is responsible in ensuring that the utility is operational and supported financially. The current study was aimed at evaluating the financial assistance received by SOEs in South Africa by the state with specific focus on Eskom. Eskom was selected from the eight SOES managed by the DPE for the purpose of focusing the research. The focus of the study was on the financial assistance to SOES in South Africa by the state. In 2008, Eskom received funding from different sources through loan intervention of the South African government. The loan and guarantees made available to Eskom by government, enabled the SOE to achieve a positive credit rating. Data for this research was primarily collected through academic journals, books, Acts, White Papers, legislation and personal interviews at the National Treasury (NT). The recommendation that this research states relates to the need for a single policy document on state financial assistance to SOES in South Africa. / Public Administration / M. Admin.

La privatisation des entreprises publiques en Algérie : état des lieux et perspectives / The Privatization of Public Enterprises in Algeria

Oukil, Omar 13 December 2010 (has links)
Le thème de la privatisation des entreprises publiques constitue, pour un pays comme l’Algérie, un sujet nouveau compte tenu des moyens Et des richesses que à la recherche d’un développement rapide tout en essayant d’intégrer les règles del’économie de marché en vue d’un passage à une économie ouverte sans pour autant que les décideurs affichent leurs véritables intentions politiques. Dans son discours, devant les élus en 2007, le président BOUTEFLIKA a reconnupubliquement que l’Etat s’est trompé dans ses grands choix économiques, faisant allusion à la loi sur les hydrocarbures. Un recul qui remet en cause la politique de privatisation dans sa globalité. Si l’économie de marché nécessite en premier lieu le respect des règles d’une concurrence loyale avec un minimum d’ouverture sur le secteur privé, le cas de l’Algérie dans son processus de privatisation nous renvoie sur un certains nombres d’éléments d’analyses de la situation économique de ce pays qui tente de sortir d’une économie dirigée imposée par un pouvoir qui cherche une légitimité pourgouverner. [...] / The theme of the privatization of public enterprises is for a country such as Algeria, a new item regarding means and wealth that this country which is in economy transition holds, a country which is still in search of a quick development while trying to integrate the rules of market economy for a transition to an open economy but, without policy makers show their real Political intentions. In 2007, in his speech, before the elected mayors, President Bouteflika publicly admitted that the state was mistaken in its important Economic choices, referring to the hydrocarbon law. A decline which calls into question the privatization Policy in its entirety. If the market economy first requires compliance with the rules of fair competition with a minimum of openness to the private sector, the case of Algeria in its privatization process refer to a certain number of analysis elements of the economic situation of this country trying to emerge from an economy led by an imposed military and political regime that seeks legitimacy to govern.

For that, proposes an identification and the analysis of the decisions of Brazil´s Federal Supreme Court ( Supremo Tribunal Federal ) on the own norms of state-owned enterprises. The research identifies the juridical model of state-owned enterprise as that in which the State uses the private law personality, in the form of a company, with the purpose to develop governamental action. It was possible to conclude that the juridical model of state-owned enterprise has been preserved by the Brazil´s Federal Supreme Court when the own norms of stateowned enterprises are judged, except when the court grant privileges for state-owned enterprises that offers public utilities. Analizing privileges of unpledgedity of property and of reciprocal tributary immunity, the reseach discovered that the court has initiated a moment of crisis on the juridical model of state-owned enterprise, having transformed a part of the regulation of state-owned enterprises in to a regulation of a public law person. The research analyses the alternatives and creates propositions in order to overcome the crisis that has been verifyed / A pesquisa tem o objetivo de investigar o regime jurídico das empresas estatais a partir da indagação: o modelo jurídico representado pelas empresas controladas pelo Estado está em crise? Para isso, propõe a identificação e a análise da jurisprudência do Supremo Tribunal Federal sobre as normas próprias das empresas estatais. A pesquisa identifica o modelo jurídico da empresa estatal como aquele em que o Estado usa a personalidade de direito privado, na forma de sociedade, com a finalidade de desenvolver ação governamental. Foi possível concluir que o modelo jurídico da empresa estatal vem sendo preservado pelo STF quando julga as normas próprias das empresas estatais, exceto quando concede privilégios para as empresas estatais de serviços públicos. A partir da análise dos privilégios da impenhorabilidade de bens e da imunidade tributária recíproca, constatou-se que o STF deu início a um momento de crise no modelo jurídico da empresa estatal, com a transformação parcial do regime jurídico das estatais de serviços públicos no de uma pessoa de direito público.

No. of bitstreams: 1 AAAATESE35.pdf: 3620389 bytes, checksum: bb16bdec94f14d3d7b35e9466ffe1477 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2013-12-20 / After identifying the existence of a theoretical gap, this work has defined its objective as: the establishment of the foundations for an episteme about the phenomenon, through the development of a theory frame able to: a) guide and support the construction and collective development of a Scientific State-Owned Enterprises and Shareholdings Theory – SSOESTh, and b) to identify elements that enable the development of answers to the central applied question: How should governments define the missions, the performance criteria and the mechanisms of governance for SOEs in a changing environment? Taking into consideration these enterprises’ materiality, their strategic relevance to contemporary states their implications to the globalizations and considering administration as an applied science, all of which demand a societal level of analysis and a multiparadigmatic multidisciplinary approach, the theory frame provided answers to several concerns and problems expressed, some over more than half a century, by authoritative scholars in the field as Pritchett, Seidman, Sherwood, Shepherd, Aharoni, Millward, Hinds and Baumol. Forwarding, through phenomenological reduction, a scientific definition of a universal concept of state-owned enterprise and introducing, inter allia, the concepts of essential state capacity in its bracket – ESCb and of patrimonial state-owned enterprise, that allowed the constructions of a public interest scale; the SSOESTh’s rueschemeyerian focused theory frame dimentionalized public and corporate governances, developed lazarsfeldian typologies for each and merged them in an universal typology – G², bridging both hemipheres of the great dichotomy of law and suporting propositions of universal criteria for missions, performance and mechanisms of governance. A plausibility probe of the focused theory frame was conducted with data from SOES directly controlled by the brazilian state, resulting in high levels of plausibility and quality. Externally, the SSOESTh contributes to several broader cientific challenges as: Balleisen's regulation's knownedge paradox, Schneiders trap, Ikedas/Mises doubt, the reopening of the organization adequacy question by the nobel Simon; additionally providing extensions to: the nobel Williamson's typology of governance structures, Riggs' theory of the prysmatic society, Simon's conception of administration as an applied science, Acemoglu and Robinson's institutionalist formulations and the nobel Stiglitz approaches to state intervention. It also enables: a) Each country to substruct its own empirical typology of SOEs, and so, to customize answers to the central applied question and each SOE management, as well as to analyze their adequacy to public policies and criteria for their privatizations; b) Managers, practitioners and case researchers to use the frame to situate and analyze their enterprises; c) Past researches to be reinterpreted at the light of this new referential and d) Everyone to connect their works with this episteme for which the SSOESTh provides the foundations and is a repository, allowing comparative studies. Finally, it is acknowledged that the degree of relevance of the phenomenon, in global terms, is much higher than initially attributed, due to the identification of its condition as an empirical factor of state capacities, considering that several state collapses and débâcles, which resulted in unbearable costs including innumerable human losses, are attributed to the absence of these capacities. / RESUMO Ao identificar a existência de lacuna teórica, o presente trabalho definiu como seu objetivo: Estabelecer os alicerces de uma epistéme sobre o fenômeno por meio do desenvolvimento de um arcabouço capaz de a) direcionar e dar sustentação à construção e ao desenvolvimento coletivo de uma Teoria Científica das Empresas e Participações Societárias Estatais – TEPSES, e de b) identificar elementos que viabilizem o desenvolvimento de respostas à questão aplicada central: Como devem os governos definir as missões, os critérios de desempenho e os mecanismos de governança das empresas estatais em um ambiente em mudança? Considerando sua materialidade, a relevância estratégica dessas empresas para os Estados contemporâneos, suas implicações para os processos de globalização e a administração uma ciência aplicada a demandarem nível de análise societal e abordagem multiparadigmática, o arcabouço e seus elementos proporcionaram resposta a várias inquietações e problemas expressos, alguns por mais de meio século, por autoridades no campo como Pritchett, Seidman, Sherwood, Shepherd, Aharoni, Millward, Hinds e Baumol. Oferecendo por redução fenomenológica uma definição de conceito universal para as empresas estatais e introduzindo, inter allia, os conceitos de capacidade essencial de Estado em seu intervalo – CEEi e de estatal patrimonial, que permitiram a construção de uma escala de interesses públicos; o arcabouço teórico focado rueschemeyeriano da TEPSES, constrói pontes entre os hemisférios da grande dicotomia do direito e entre aspectos de governanças pública e corporativa, por meio de tipologias lazarsfeldianas. Em suas seis dimensões iniciais e trinta e três relações o arcabouço foi aplicado por sondagem plausibilística ao caso das estatais diretas brasileiras, apresentando elevado grau de plausibilidade e qualidade, inclusive segundo critérios de Wacker. As formulações e explicitações da TEPSES oferecem respostas e possibilidades de tratamento a várias questões científicas mais amplas como: o paradoxo do conhecimento na regulação de Balleisen, a armadilha de Schneider, a dúvida de Ikeda/Mises e a reabertura da questão de adequação organizacional pelo nobel Simon; proporcionando ainda extensões a: tipologia de estruturas de governança do nobel Williamson, as concepções de sociedade prismática de Riggs, a definição da administração como ciência aplicada do nobel Simon, as formulações institucionalistas de Acemoglu e Robinson e as abordagens sobre intervenção de Estado do nobel Stiglitz. O arcabouço da TEPSES possibilita: a) a cada país, construir sua própria tipologia empírica de empresas estatais e assim geri-las a partir de respostas customizadas à questão aplicada central, analisar sua adequação como instrumento de políticas públicas e desenvolver critérios para suas privatizações; b) a gestores, pesquisadores e estudiosos de caso situar e analisar suas empresas a partir do arcabouço; c) às pesquisas pretéritas, terem seus dados reinterpretados à luz de um novo referencial e d) a todos, a possibilidade de conectarem seus trabalhos à epistéme da qual a TEPSES é alicerce e repositório. Conclui-se que o grau de relevância, em nível global, do fenômeno é na realidade muito superior à sua materialidade e ao grau de relevância atribuído inicialmente, devido à identificação de sua condição como fator empírico de capacidades de Estado, uma vez que à ausência e deficiências dessas capacidades são atribuídos colapsos e débâcles de vários Estados nacionais, que resultaram em elevadíssimos e incalculáveis custos humanos.
