**Affirmed position.** Corporate Governance and Financial Accountability: Recent Reforms in the UK Public Sector presents the following source proposition: These initiatives seek to supplant historically established bureaucratic modes of governance, underpinned by a public service ethic, by market‐based principles. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that Even after recent reforms, the corporate governance framework remains framed in terms of hierarchy, which is why it fits poorly with looser and unmediated stakeholder relationships. The proposed response is an extension: the relationship should remain limited to the retrieved source proposition and the mapped Kaal claim unless fuller source review supports a broader conclusion.
