5. The recently enacted
Companies Act, 2013 (the Act),
along with changes in the listing
agreement marked a historic
moment and beginning of a
new era, which aims to improve
transparency and accountability
in India’s corporate sector.
The Act outlines various
requirements for governance,
disclosures and enhanced roles,
responsibilities and liabilities of
the board, its committees and
independent directors.
Based on our experience of
assisting several large Indian
and multinational companies
towards implementation of
Companies Act 2013, we have
faced several implementation
challenges, which we believe
are relevant for large number of
companies in India.
Furthermore, limited guidance
is available from the regulators
towards the implementation
aspects of Companies Act
2013.
