2. Corporate governance is the set of processes, customs, policies, laws, and institutions
affecting the way a corporation or company is directed, administered or controlled.
Corporate governance also includes the relationships among the many stakeholders
involved and the goals for which the corporation is governed.
Corporate Governance is the system by which companies are directed and managed. It
influences how the objectives of the company are set and achieved, how risk is monitored
and assessed and how performance is optimized. Sound Corporate Governance is,
therefore, critical to enhance and retain investor’s trust.
Report of SEBI Committee (India) on Corporate Governance defines corporate governance
as “the acceptance by management of the inalienable rights of shareholders as the true
owners of the corporation and of their own role as trustees on behalf of the shareholders.
It is about commitment to values, about ethical business conduct and about making a
distinction between personal & corporate funds in the management of a company.
Definition of Corporate Governance

and Committees set relating to corporate functioning comprising of the following :
1. The Companies Act, 1956

6. The Depositories Act, 1996
