Corporate Governance
Ideal corporate governance is characterized by a firm
commitment to ethical practices by the entire
organisation in all of its dealings with a wide group of
stakeholders encompassing employees, customers,
vendors, regulators and all shareholders
Corporate governance rests on four pillars
Transparency
Full disclosure
Independent Monitoring
Fairness to all stakeholders
Directors
A corporation is an artificial person
which is intangible and invisible.
For making any decision and
to have knowledge and intention,
a living person has a mind
and hands by which he carries out
his actions. But a corporate body being
an artificial person has none of these.
So it needs to act through a living person.
The company’s business is entrusted
in the hands of directors.
Note: The Companies Act, 2013 does not contain an
exhaustive definition of the term “director”.
Section 2 (34) of the Act prescribed that
“director” means a director appointed
to the Board of a company.
Board of Directors
Section 2 (10) of the Companies Act, 2013 defined
that “Board of Directors” or “Board”, in relation to a
company, means the collective body of the directors of
the company.
Board of Directors
Responsibility
The board of directors of a company is primarily
responsible for:
