A well-defined governance framework clarifies roles, responsibilities, and decision rights, which improves accountability and reduces confusion during growth.

For investors, a robust program signals stability and risk management discipline, making financing and partnerships more accessible. Regulators also benefit from consistent disclosures and audit trails, which can shorten examinations and enhance trust in the business.
