About the Book

Corporate Governance is that area of corporate law which is always in the limelight. The term encompasses the internal and external factors that affect the interests of a company’s stakeholders, including shareholders, customers, suppliers, government regulators and management. The purpose of corporate governance is to implement the checks and balances system that minimizes conflicts of interest and facilitates effective management that can deliver the long-term success of the company. Corporate governance has garnered great attention because of high-profile scandals involving abuse of corporate power or alleged criminal activity by corporate officers

Even though the traditional understanding of Corporate governance and the concepts related thereto still hold to a large extent, there are many developments over a period of time which seeks to make the understanding of this branch a very dynamic one. This book is primarily aimed at dealing with not only the set framework of Corporate Governance, but also with such evolving concepts and developments, which make this branch of corporate law richer.
