Abstract
This study examines the impact of reported lapses in corporate governance, using event study analysis to explore the announcement effect of public reprimand letters issued for violations of corporate governance regulations. No evidence is found that the stock of companies receiving such a letter are subject to negative abnormal returns, thus it appears that investors do not consider the announcement to contain new relevant information for their assessment of company value.
