Forum for Corporate Governance in Indonesia (FCGI) PriceWaterhouse Coopers (PwC) Corporate Governance Self Assessment Checklist

Purpose of this questionnaire


This questionnaire has been developed by FCGI and PwC as a self assessment tool for Indonesian companies to review and evaluate the quality of their governance practices. It is intended that this questionnaire can be used by any company, regardless of whether they are a state owned entity, a listed company or a private company, and regardless of the industry in which the company operates.

Limitations
The results of this questionnaire should be treated with caution. Good corporate governance is not only a question of having appropriate procceses in place in the company, those processes must also be operating effectively. Judgement is therefore required in interpreting the score that is achieved when answering the questions in the survey, which largely require "yes" or "no" answers. Secondly, because the questionnaire is intended to cover a broad range of companies, it is necessarily wide in its scope, and it does not necessarily address all possible issues of corporate governance that should be considered by companies in particular industry groups and/ or regulatory regimes. Finally, as with any self-assessment system, the quality of the evaluation depends greatly on the knowledge, experience and objectivity of the person or people responsible for completing the questionnaire.

Interpretation:
1. 0-49%: Your Company needs to look at its CorporateGovernance system because the overall score is below standard 2. 50-59%: Your Company's overall Corporate Governance score meets the basic standards, but should seriously consider improvement on issues where the score is low 3. 60-80%: Your Companys overall Corporate Governance score is good, but could be further improved 4. 81-100%: Your company's Corporate Governance score is excellent

A Word of Caution:
The assessment is based on the judgement of the respondents and list of issues that are valid for most companies. Therefore, the results are determined by the liability of the replies and the relevant of the questionnaire. The questionnaire is therefore a simplification of the reality, although the score is a good indicator of the company's quality of Corporate Governance. The result of this survey for your company provides a good basis for taking a closer look at the measures that can be taken to improve the company's Corporate Governance. PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) and Forum for Corporate Governance in Indonesia (FCGI) will be very happy to assist you in this.
