Corporate governance defines the framework by which a company is directed and controlled. It covers board oversight, accountability, stakeholder rights, and strategic decision-making that supports ethical conduct and long-term value creation. In practice, governance shapes policies, committees, and reporting to ensure transparency and resilience.\nEffective governance integrates with compliance efforts to prevent regulatory penalties and strengthen investor trust, enabling smoother board operations and informed strategic choices.
Compliance benefits a business by reducing the risk of violations and fines through structured policies, training, and monitoring. It also enhances reputation, supports smoother audits, and improves access to capital by demonstrating prudent risk management and responsible governance across operations.

It should also include code of ethics, policy review schedules, and compliance obligations tailored to the organization’s industry and risk profile.
