Corporate governance is the system that ensures a company operates ethically and responsibly, like a well-run ship with a captain and crew working together. It focuses on fairness for all stakeholders (investors, employees, community), transparency in finances and operations, and accountability from management. By identifying and managing risks, and adhering to legal and ethical guidelines, companies with good governance create a trustworthy reputation that attracts investors, reduces risk, and ultimately paves the way for long-term success.!
