Corporate Governance and Ethical Business

Subject: Economics

Book: Comprehensive Indian Economy - Additional Topics

Robust corporate governance safeguards minority shareholders, promotes transparency, and fosters accountability in boards and management. SEBI’s regulations, Clause 49 guidelines, and the Companies Act amendments anchor best practices. Exams might cover the role of independent directors, audit committees, and whistleblower policies. Effective governance also ties into ESG (environment, social, governance) criteria, reflecting investor demand for ethical operations.
