Corporate governance is a critical aspect of any business, whether you are a start-up or an established business. Corporate governance stands as the backbone of responsible business management, encompassing the systems, processes, and practices that guide a company’s operations and interactions.
It is a framework that defines the roles, responsibilities, and relationships between various stakeholders, including shareholders, directors, executives, employees, and regulators. In Canada, it is regulated by a combination of federal and provincial laws, as well as stock exchange rules and guidelines.
