Corporate Governance is the interaction between various participants in shaping an institution’s performance and the way it advances. The relationship between the owners and the managers in an institution must be healthy and there should be no conflict between the two. The owners must see that individuals’ actual performance accords with the standard performance.
Corporate Governance has a broad scope. It includes both social and institutional aspects. Corporate Governance encourages a trustworthy, moral, as well as ethical environment.
