  • Corporate Governance
    Report No. 2 of 2014 CHAPTER 3 Corporate Governance 3.1 Corporate Governance Corporate Governance is a system of structuring, operating and controlling an organisation with a view to achieving long term strategic goals to satisfy the stakeholder (shareholders, employees, customers, suppliers, government and community) and complying with the legal and regulatory requirements. Corporate Governance is a way of directing and controlling companies. It is concerned with the morals, ethics, values, parameters, conduct and behaviour of the company and management. It is the system by which companies are directed and controlled by the management in the best interest of the shareholders and other stakeholders ensuring greater transparency and better and timely financial reporting. The absence of good governance structures and lack of adherence to the governance principles increase the risk of corruption and misuse of entrusted power by the management in public sector. 3.1.1 Corporate Governance in India The direction of Corporate Governance initiatives in India has been dictated mainly by the Companies Act, 1956, Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) and Department of Public Enterprises (DPE). While the various amendments to the Companies Act, 1956 gave the governance direction to the companies in the country as a whole, the DPE had issued guidelines on Corporate Governance for Central Public Sector Enterprises (CPSEs) providing the path for governance initiatives in the public sector. 3.1.2 DPE guidelines on Corporate Governance for Central Public Sector Undertakings The DPE issued guidelines on Corporate Governance in November 1992 on the inclusion of non – official directors on the Board of Directors.
