Corporate governance refers to the systems and practices that guide leadership, oversee risk, and protect the rights of shareholders. It establishes clear roles for directors and managers, promotes ethical decision making, and creates transparency that helps investors evaluate long term prospects. Effective governance also clarifies accountability and aligns management actions with the company’s strategic goals.
Governance and compliance are interdependent. Governance sets the framework for oversight, while compliance ensures actions align with laws and rules. Together they reduce risk, support reliable reporting, and improve an organization’s ability to respond to regulatory changes.
