    KEY PRINCIPLES OF
    CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

    The key principles of corporate governance

    Accountability ensures that individuals and
    entities are held responsible for their actions.
    Responsibility refers to the duty of directors and
    management to act in the best interests of the
    company and its shareholders. Transparency
    promotes openness and disclosure of relevant
    information.
    SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS

    Shareholder rights encompass a range of


    entitlements and protections that
    shareholders have in relation to their
    investment. These include voting rights,
    dividend entitlements, information access,
    and participation in major decisions.
    Upholding shareholder rights is crucial for
    ensuring their interests are represented and
    protected, promoting investor confidence,
    and fostering a healthy corporate culture.
    BEST PRACTICES IN
    CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

    Adopting best practices in corporate governance


    is essential for organizations to operate ethically,
    responsibly, and sustainably. These practices

    management, internal controls, and ethical
    conduct. By implementing these practices,
    companies can enhance decision-making
    processes, mitigate risks, and ensure compliance
    with legal and regulatory requirements.
