What is Corporate Governance Audit?
A Corporate Governance Audit assesses how well a company is managed in terms of accountability, fairness, transparency, and ethical conduct. It involves evaluating board processes, decision-making frameworks, stakeholder management, and overall compliance with corporate governance laws and standards. A well-conducted governance audit strengthens your organization’s control mechanisms, reduces risks, and ensures your business operates within the legal and ethical boundaries.
