Corporate governance is a means of self-governance by companies whereby a company increases its ‘firm value’ by higher and qualitatively superior disclosure as well as more responsible action and includes reporting requirements, confidentiality norms, code of conduct and specific rules for the conduct of its directors and employees and other insiders. It is a means by which the company signals to the market that effective self-regulation is in place and that investors are safe to invest in their securities. Organizations can simply direct their executives past what is denied by the law. Further, companies are mandated to disclose accurate information on matters like performance and financial position within time by way of various filings with the regulatory authorities of India. It is pertinent to mention that broadly the applicable corporate governance norms are most stringent in cases of listed companies but are comparatively relaxed for public unlisted companies and are most relaxed for private companies.
