Due to the last years events, the Portuguese banking system has suffered significative changes, even impacting the own European Banking System. The Banco Espírito Santo debacle, and restructuring into Novobanco, caused an urgent discussion and reflection over the Corporate Governance measures which were being applied at the Portuguese regulators and financial institutions. More than ever, it was important to prevent the future and safeguard earnings and interests. However, it was also important to understand what could be improved, and what could be learned from the present (and past) mistakes. My master dissertation focuses on the Corporate Governance framework adopted at both banks, with the intend to explore and understand, how much the adopted structures have been transformed, and which were the results obtained.
