Thank you for uploading this clip. It helps me understand the corporate governance. Can you also please explain why do corporate governance arrangements at company board level differ from country to country?
Hi Mia, Thanks for your question. Corporate governance arrangements in companies differ from country to country because all countries have different legislation i.e. national laws and regulations regarding companies and corporate governance.
can you please tell me how we can critically analyse corporate governance in context of leadership, operations and information systems and their impact on financial statements.
Hi Nadya, thanks for your questions. Good governance means that processes and institutions produce results that meet the needs of society while making the best use of resources at their disposal. Corporate governance is the system by which companies are directed and controlled. Boards of directors are responsible for the governance of their companies. The shareholders' role in governance is to appoint the directors and the auditors and to satisfy themselves that an appropriate governance structure is in place. The link between corporate governance and good governance is that Corporations that recognize that their business impacts the environment around them create an innate sense of accountability to their societies. Sustainability takes into account a strong concern for the future. It’s in a corporation’s best interest to be socially responsible and innovative because it’s these things that ensure sustainability. The corporation and society will see evidence of that impact now and in the future.
