PROBLEMS OF CORPORATE GOVERNANCE DEVELOPMENT INKAZAKHSTAN COMPANIES A.A. Zhumalina Al-Farabi Kazakh National University, HSEВ Management, 1st year Student of Master’s degree Scientific adviser Dzhumambayev S.K. Сandidate of Economic Science In the current economic conditions particular importance takes the problem of constructing an effective model of corporate governance in every modern large organization. At the same timenote that the low quality of corporate governance worsens the investment climate and hinders to attract external funding.In addition, corporate governance largely determines the business culture. In this regard, it is important to identify the major basic stages in the development of corporate governance in Kazakhstan. For today the actual problem of corporate business in Kazakhstan is to improve the quality of corporate governance (CG). To do this, it is essential to find effective solutions to issues related to the protection of rights of property owners, balancing the interests of individual companies and corporate structure as a whole. Improvement of CG is a multidimensional problem which requires a comprehensive review. The development of modern CG in countries with transitional economies, including Kazakhstan, depends on the completeness and complexity of the solution of the following problems: 1. Adoption of the principles of corporate governance in Kazakhstan; 2. Improving the governance structure of the company, in accordance with the principles of CG; 3. Improving the governance of the property as an essential element of CG; 4. Expansion and governanceof information transparency of the company as an important link in the development of CG. 5. The development of the stock market as an essential link in improving of the market CG is a an important indicator of the level of development of CG in the country 6. Improving the governance of the interaction of participants of corporate business on the principles of CG. Settlement of corporate conflicts. Assertion of corporate governance principles is the fundamental stage in the development, of CG as well as corporate business in Kazakhstan. The first step towards this should be the awareness by property owners and leadership of corporations objective need to strictly follow the principles of CG to realize the economic content of corporatism in market relations. The modern period of economic development of Kazakhstan is characterized its recognition by the international community as a country with a market economy. In the Republic formed a new institutional environment, where the decisive role is played by private property. It exists in various shapes and forms - from individual to sophisticated corporate in the form of joint-stock companies with complex organizational structure, various composition of participants. Investigation the ways to improve the governance of economic development in the country at all levels, considering the specificity of Kazakhstan and taking into account international experience, brings to the forefront the problem of corporativity and corporate governance. This problem in concentrated form is reflected in corporate business formation and development in the country which provides the necessary investment and a business climate in general, gives a new quality of economic growth in the country. Associations of people in organizational groups to work together implies, firstly, the participation of both physical and legal entities, such as creating a joint-stock company; secondly, creation the necessary rules for the conduct of such activities, without which control is ineffective. Adherence to these principles is becoming one of the key issues for the efficient functioning of corporations. Large corporate business structure becomes a powerful industry and inter-industry structures of economic management of the country. In fact they are supposed to form the structure of sectoral and cross-sectoral governance in the country. The relevance of CG is defined by complicating the relationship between proprietors and managers of enterprises that form the core of CG. If at the initial stage of market reforms in Kazakhstan are often combined in one person, but now owners of shares (proprietors), as well as throughout the "civilized world", are increasingly forced to hire professional managers. In addition, the complicated relationship between different groups of shareholders in corporation: small and large, controlling and a blocking, etc. This whole tangle of relationships should be regulated by the principles of CG. The emerging in Kazakhstan a system of CG is characterized by certain features: - A permanent process of redistribution of ownership in a corporation; - Specific motivation of many insiders (managers and major shareholders) associated with the control of financial flows and the "output" assets of the corporation; - The concentration of shares (controlling stake) in the hands of the directors or the CEO ; - Week or atypical role of traditional "external" corporate governance mechanisms (market securities, bankruptcy, the market for corporate management and control), etc. A significant drawback in corporate governance is the absence of equitable representation of members of the corporation. No clearly defined calibrated system of separation of powers, rights, responsibilities and functions between the different levels of the control system, as well as between the parties to the decision making process. This situation is one of the threats to the economic security of the corporation. The high degree of centralization of corporate governance leads to a low level of economic independence divisions of the corporation. For asuch control system is characterizedrigid subordinated submission of the lower-level leadership to senior managers and indirectly the directors and directly to General Director, in which they often do not bear the corresponding liability for the results of economic activity. It is largely an obstacle to the formation and development of corporate governance. It is important to realize that CG - it's too complicated process, hoping that one person can perform equally well all managerial roles (functions). Each role requires a special style. Roles that participants of the process of corporate governance have to play are in conflict. Therefore, one person will never be able to perform them all at the same time. This a whole tangle of relationships should be regulated by the principles of CG. Among the difficulties, encountered in the way of corporate restructuring, should be called the lack of understanding of many of their leaders of what constitutes a CG, corporate culture, business ethics, rules of the economic game, the code of corporate conduct or principles, etc. A CG in Kazakhstan so far vulnerability in terms of transparency of ownership.This is manifested in insufficient transparency of possessive and controlling structures. The opacity of the ownership structure of companies often does not allow shareholders and potential investors to have a correct understanding of the mechanism of control, which, of course, increases their risk of possible involvement in the Kazakhstan projects. Still fails phase constant struggle for power between different interest groups in the companies. Research has shown that many corporations actually do not belong to the shareholders and groups of individuals controlling the company through a combination of legal and illegal methods. Often the real owners generally difficult or even impossible to detect because there are no register.And, as sayRadygin A. and G. Sidorov “shareholders, who are members of the controlling group, act on a single scenario developed by the real owners. In this case, the claims to the actual owners of injury to the ordinary "outsider" is not possible - the owners are hidden behind many structures.” In other words, a feature of many corporation of countries with transitional economies has been the identification control of the controlling shareholder. The reason is that, for fear of losing control over their capital, as well as control over financial flows, some proprietors not willing to risk even to delegate operational management of the corporation. Therefore it is quite understandable that on the set of Kazakhstan corporations General Director retains many levers uncontrolled influence but the control system is authoritarian. As a result, losts the integrity of the corporation as a coherent totality of human resources, tools and objects of labor.All this eventually reduces the competitiveness and the market value of the corporation. It should be emphasized that the concept of CG makes sense only if there is a separation of ownership from management and finance department, at least, certain sources of finance, from the management of the corporation. Exactly separation of functions of the owner and manager defines the essence of the modern corporation and necessitates implementation of the system of CG. Based on the foregoing, it can be concluded that in countries with transitional economies and domestic conditions formed a distinctive model of CG. Call it the CG model of the transition period. In this model, there are also the owners, and hired managers, but their powers in the company are not strictly separated. In this model the transition does not occur directly the separation of ownership and management of the property. On the contrary, there is a powerful line: Owner - Board of Directors - Management, part of which forms the core of management, the company performs as a business function and control. One of the main drawbacks of this model is that the administrative core is a kind of internal joint-stock company, a substitute for all the formal corporate governance mechanisms. Interests of those who did not get into the core of management, with no protection. In these circumstances, there is inevitably a continuous struggle for the interception of the entrepreneurial function, which, in turn, allows to effectively manage the company even for highly professional management and create a sustainable competitive advantage. If we analyze the external factors that would have to discipline the internal processes of CG, then we have the following picture. Financial markets are poorly developed in Kazakhstan, ineffectiveand therefore stock prices do not reflect the real value of companies. There are no financial instruments, the yield of which could be taken as a starting point in determining the discount rate. Because of this, it is very difficult to determine the value of the company and its dynamics, therefore, virtually no important disciplining management indicators - the market value of the company and the market CG and control. Thus, even if the mechanisms of CG formallycreated correctly, they do not work cause of external mechanisms do not discipline the behavior of shareholders, managers do not stimulate the growth of the share capital. This finding supports the need to consider all parts of the CG, a systematic approach to the concept of corporate development in Kazakhstan. Solving the problems of transition to CG of modern Kazakhstan is a key character since offers opportunities to attract cheaper capital, increasing the market value of companies. Developing a practice of CG should be considered as part of the overall process of modernization of the country, which covers not only private but also a public sector, which is one of the really active partners in corporate structures. It is important to emphasize that this is a way for solving the problem of creation the strategic management process of formation of competitiveness of Kazakhstan's economy. It is necessary to emphasize the importance of the evolutionary stage formation and consolidation of corporate governance principles, reflecting different stages of development and maturity of the corporations and the associated growing domestic needs and external stimuli debugging corporate mechanisms. Justifying the need for a radical change in the mechanism of decision-making in Kazakhstan corporations, use the recommendations of G. Kleiner, who offers the following structure: each person involved in the activities of the corporation, is one of the four factors of production: firstly, workers - work; secondly, the shareholders - financial capital; third, the control of the enterprise - organizational and technological factors; fourth, CEO - entrepreneurial activity. On the basis of this structure is proposed scheme is a modern model of CG. To implement this scheme is necessary to ensure that all individual participants (employees, shareholders, managers) the possibility of democratic representation, coordination and consolidation of interests within their functional group and between groups - social contract in the interaction in the decision-making process. In this case, the main direction of the vector of common interest must meet the interests of the corporation as a whole. At present, the activities of corporations regulated by a variety of instruments such as the Civil Code, the Labor Code, the Law "On Joint Stock Companies", "On Insolvency (Bankruptcy) of Enterprises", the documents relating to the statistics, accounting, etc. In each of these documents allows for the selection of certain administrative or organizational decisions. And this is an opportunity for unscrupulous businessmen to seize weak enterprise through bankruptcy, cheating partners, violation of the rights of employees and shareholders. In Kazakhstan, the current stage of development of business should be held under the slogan of corporate development and full-scale development of corporate governance principles at all levels of government. To implement this concept, it is necessary: To transfer from the model of CG transition period to a modern model based on international principles of its construction. The proposed model of CG presupposes the existence of effective securities market and a such important and disciplining management indicators as the market value of the company and the market CG and control. Prepare and adopt a law "About Corporation" which defined in a set of basic principles and norms of its activity as an integrated socio-economic business entity economy. It is necessary to exclude the possibility of hostile takeovers of companies, based on different interpretations of the law, through bankruptcy, cheating partners, violation of the rights of employees and shareholders, ie raiding and better secure the rights and responsibilities of all stakeholders CG and corporate business as a whole, its organizational forms. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8.
