Corporate Governance
Corporate Governance can be described as the structures, processes, cultures and systems that engender the successful operation of organisations. Good corporate governance is thus reliant upon the introduction and maintenance of mechanisms to promote that behaviour and performance of management which is in the interests of the stakeholders of the organisation.
An inherent part of corporate governance is accountability. The essence of accountability is an obligation to present an account of and to answer for the execution of responsibilities, to those who entrusted those responsibilities to the people or department concerned.
Corporate governance in public entities requires that effective and appropriate measures are established to ensure statutory accountability for public money. Communication with stakeholders should be open and transparent and the roles and responsibilities of the accounting authority the chief financial officer and non-executives should be clearly defined. Appointments to the accounting authority should be made according to specified criteria, adequate and sufficient training programs should be accessible and a policy for executive remuneration should be followed.
In the context of a particular corporation, corporate governance seeks to determine the weight that should be given to the interests of directors, shareholders, employees and other stakeholders, and how precisely can these interests be expressed, aligned and reconciled.
