Definition of corporate governance

“Corporate governance refers to that blend of law, regulation and

appropriate voluntary private-sector practices which enable the

corporation to attract financial and human resources, perform

efficiently, and thereby perpetuate itself by generating long-term

economic value for its shareholders, while respecting the interests

of stakeholders and the society as a whole.”
