Corporate Governance

“Corporate Governance is about promoting corporate fairness, transparency and accountability.” – James D. Wolfensohn (Ninth President World Bank)

“Corporate governance specifies the distribution of rights and responsibilities among different participants in the company such as board, management, shareholders and other stakeholders; and spells out the rules and procedures for corporate decision-making. By doing this, it provides the structure through which the company’s objectives are set along with the means of attaining these objectives as well as for monitoring performance.” – Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development

There is a need for Corporate Governance to create a corporate culture of transparency, accountability and disclosure. It refers to adherence with all the moral & ethical values, legal framework and voluntarily adopted practices.
