High-quality corporate governance contributes to making an organisation’sfinancial and business activity more efficient, a fact confirmed by many independent studies.

Increased accountability and potential exposure to liability means directors need to ensure that corporate governance standards are adhered to and robust compliance management systems are in place. Sound corporate governance practices can protect directors from potential personal liability and protect the company from reputational harm.
