What is Corporate Governance?

Good corporate governance helps companies build trust with investors and the community.

Corporate governance is important to investors since it shows a company’s direction and business integrity.

Corporate governance is the system of rules, practices, and processes by which a firm is directed and controlled. It essentially involves balancing the interests of a company’s many stakeholders, such as shareholders, senior management executives, customers, suppliers, financiers, the government, and the community.

Since corporate governance also provides the framework for attaining a company’s objectives, it encompasses practically every sphere of management, from action plans and internal controls to performance measurement and corporate disclosure.

Most companies strive to have a high level of corporate governance. For many shareholders, it is not enough for a company to merely be profitable; it also needs to demonstrate good corporate citizenship through environmental awareness, ethical behavior, and sound corporate governance practices.
