Good corporate governance plays a vital role in underpinning the integrity
and efficiency of financial markets. Poor corporate governance weakens a company's potential and at
worst can pave the way for financial difficulties and even fraud. If companies are well governed, they will usually outperform
other companies and will be able to attract investors whose support can help to finance further growth."

Corporate Governance is a term used to define the manner in which a Board of Directors oversees the running of a company by its managers. It looks at the relationship between all interested stakeholders and the behaviour of the company towards employees, customers, shareholders, creditors. Corporate Governance exists to provide a framework through which the strategy, objectives and culture of a company are set. It is also a means of realising how the strategy, objectives and culture are met, together with a way of assessing performance against these values.
Good Corporate Governance provides incentives for the Board of Directors and Senior Management to pursue and implement these values to the best interests of the company and its shareholders and to do so in a transparent manner.
