Corporate Governance

Corporate Governance refers to the way in which companies are governed and to what purpose.

Corporate governance is the system of rules, practices and processes by which a company is directed and controlled. With our extensive knowledge of local regulations and global best practices, we are well positioned to help our clients build sustainable and effective governance frameworks.

 

Governance at a corporate level includes the processes through which a company’s objectives are set and pursued in the context of the social, regulatory and market environment. It is concerned with practices and procedures for trying to make sure that a company is run in such a way that it achieves its objectives, while ensuring that stakeholders can have confidence that their trust in that company is well founded. We assess and advise on the most appropriate structure and framework for your Board. We focus on the company culture and its strategic objectives to create a robust governance framework that supports the company’s future goals.

We consider the four pillars of corporate governance are:

  • Accountability
  • Fairness
  • Transparency
  • Responsibility

Corporate Governance refers to the way in which companies are governed and to what purpose. It identifies who has power and accountability, and who makes decisions. It is, in essence, a toolkit that enables management and the board to deal more effectively with the challenges of running a company. Corporate governance ensures that businesses have appropriate decision-making processes and controls in place so that the interests of all stakeholders (shareholders, employees, suppliers, customers and the community) are balanced.
