Without transparency it is impossible to move towards corporate governance. This helps to build high level of public confidence.<\/li>\n<li><strong>ACCOUNTABILITY<\/strong>&#8211; The chairman, board of directors and CEO of the company must be accountable to the stakeholders of the company.Since they have ultimate authority to take decisions therefore they must accept the accountability.<\/li>\n<li><strong>INDEPENDENCE<\/strong>&#8211; The board of directors has to be an independent, strong and non-partisan body where decisions are based on business prudence. Companies act now provides constitution of Audit Committee to get an independent review and control on financial records.<\/li>\n<li><strong>REPORTING-<\/strong> Corporate governance also involves adequate reporting to the shareholders and other stakeholders of the company.It involves publishing the reports on the company&#8217;s performance regularly. It should also share its relevant information with the shareholders and also publish it on the company&#8217;s website.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>It is the need of the hour to adopt the principles of corporate governance, specially after the scams like satyam scam,2g scam,\u00a0common wealth games scam etc, to keep a check on the working of the top management and directors. Thus it is the duty of the government to create awareness about this issue and make it compulsory for the companies to follow corporate governance.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.vskills.in\/certification\/accounting-banking-and-finance\">Click here for government certification in Accounting, Banking &amp; Finance<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Corporate governance means that company manages its business in a manner that is accountable and responsible to the shareholders.In a wider term, it includes company accountability to shareholders and stakeholders like its employees,customers,suppliers, government etc.It refers to the accountability of board of directors towards the shareholders.
