Corporate Governance is the construct through which the provisions of a business are put in place, the way of acquiring those objectives are discussed and listed, the guidelines and expectations regarding performance are measured and the structure of resource use is outlined.
Corporate governance is truly concerned with promoting corporate evenhandedness, transparency and responsibility through answerability. This promotion of equality functions by clearly stating how the rights and responsibilities, from the highest position in the business to the lowest will be distributed and maintained through accountability and how decisions and procedural operations should be managed.
With this in mind, Corporate Governance can easily be viewed as a voluntary code of conduct by which company executives and those in positions of authority regarding the use of corporate resources are expected to follow when managing a company’s funds, employees and operations. This Code of Conduct then clearly states the requirements of operations and ethical behavior expected.
