Corporate Governance
Governance is what a lender looks at when deciding how much exposure to take, and what a board relies on to know that what it is told is true.
Corporate governance is the combination of law, regulation, procedure, implicit rules and voluntary practice that lets a company operate efficiently while maximising long-term shareholder value — without disregarding its buyers, the government and the wider society it sits in.
In practice it is a function of transparency and fairness in operation and of proper disclosure. SEBI regulations and the stock exchange listing agreements require compliance; lenders look for it before taking exposure.
