📘 Corporate Governance Training Program
🧭 What is Corporate Governance?
Corporate Governance refers to the system of rules, practices, and processes by which a company is directed and controlled. It ensures accountability, fairness, and transparency in a company’s relationship with its stakeholders (shareholders, customers, employees, government, and the public).
