Corporate Governance

Corporate Governance is the term used to describe the system by which an organisation is controlled and directed. It covers issues such as board structure, internal control procedures, the need to safeguard assets, risk management, the establishment of audit committees and the implications of the changes introduced by the Companies Act 2014. It also covers Central Bank regulation and various other sector-specific legislation.

Corporate governance is good for business: it ensures the effective, proper and efficient running of your organisation and supports transparency and accountability. Good corporate governance contributes to improved performance.
