What Is Corporate Governance?

Corporate governance refers to the system of rules, practices, and processes by which a company is directed and controlled. It covers how decisions are made, how rights and responsibilities are distributed among different stakeholders, and how performance is monitored.

Good governance creates a framework for achieving a company’s objectives, involving elements like:

  • Board structure and responsibilities
  • Shareholder rights
  • Transparency and accountability
  • Risk management
  • Ethical conduct

Why Compliance Matters

Compliance refers to the company’s adherence to laws, regulations, standards, and ethical practices applicable to its business operations. It includes:

  • Labor laws
  • Environmental regulations
  • Anti-corruption laws
  • Industry-specific rules
  • Data protection and privacy (e.g., GDPR-like rules for international dealings)

Failure to comply with these standards can result in fines, legal liability, and damage to reputation.
