DESCRIPTION AND BENEFITS

Corporate Governance was defined as "the system by which companies are directed and controlled" by the Cadbury Committee, one of the first serious efforts to get a handle on this question.

Corporate governance refers mainly to the organisation of the relationship between the owners and managers of a corporation. The ways in which countries structure this relationship take different forms across the globe, reflecting different economic circumstances and national traditions. Corporate governance systems must be seen and understood in the context of the societies in which they function
