01. Corporate Governance
Understanding Corporate Governance
Corporate governance refers to the system of rules, practices and processes by which a company is directed and controlled. It provides the framework for achieving the company's objectives and it aims to oversee every sphere of management, from action plans and internal controls to performance measurement and corporate disclosure.
A company’s corporate governance is important to investors since it shows a company's direction and business integrity. Good corporate governance helps companies build trust with investors and the community. As a result, corporate governance helps promote financial viability by creating a long-term investment opportunity for market participants.
Negligent corporate governance can cast doubt on a company's reliability, integrity and transparency, which can impact its financial health.
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 behaviour and sound corporate governance practices.
