What Are the Types of Corporate Governance?

Corporate governance is the collection of structures, practices, and processes which a company employs to manage risk and ensure accountability. Its aim is to give a plan for long-term success while reducing the chance of losses in financial terms, waste, risks, and corruption.

The most fundamental principles of corporate governance are fairness, diversity and transparency. These principles are derived from the idea that all stakeholders including employees and shareholders, must be treated fairly and equally by management and the board. This means establishing and maintaining a formal and transparent process for selecting, supervising and monitoring key executives and board members’ performance, as well as ensuring the alignment of key executives and board remuneration with the company’s overall interests, and providing the necessary oversight to prevent conflicts of conflicts of interest.

Transparency refers to being transparent and willing to communicate accurate information to all stakeholders, including shareholders. This includes an organisation’s willingness to disclose both good and bad information. This includes sharing information on a regular basis and making it available.

Based on the type of business the various boards and comittees may play a role in the corporate governance. It is the responsibility of the board to establish and manage a formal governance system. This includes appointing a lead or director as the presiding director, if the structure is one in which the chair and CEO are combined. It must be independent of the chair, and should serve with a fixed time. The lead director is accountable for implementing governance policies and procedures that are in line with the corporate’s legal, regulatory and cultural environment.
