Corporate Governance

If u see the newspapers, this term is being given a great mileage after the SATYAM DUD… I would like my readers to know more abt it..

 

Corporate governance involves a set of relationships amongst the company’s management, its board of directors, its shareholders, its auditors and other stakeholders.

  1. These relationships, which involve various rules and incentives, provide the structure through which the objectives of the company are set, and the means of attaining these objectives as well as monitoring performance are determined.
  2. The key aspects of good corporate governance include transparency of corporate structures and operations; the accountability of managers and the boards to shareholders; and corporate
    responsibility towards stakeholders.
  3. While corporate governance essentially lays down the framework for creating long-term trust between companies and the external providers of capital, it would be wrong to think that   the   importance   of   corporate   governance   lies   solely  in   better   access   of   finance.
  4. Companies   around   the   world   are   realizing   that   better   corporate   governance   adds considerable value to their operational performance:
  5. It improves strategic thinking at the top by inducting independent directors who bring a wealth of experience, and a host of new ideas
  6. It rationalizes the management and monitoring of risk that a firm faces globally
  7. It limits the  liability of  top management  and directors,  by carefully articulating  the decision making process
  8. It assures the integrity of financial reports
  9. It  has   long  term  reputational  effects   among key  stakeholders,  both  internally  and externally 

Good corporate governance- the extent to which companies
are run in an open and honest manner- is important for overall market confidence, the efficiency of capital allocation, the growth and development  of countries’ industrial bases, and ultimately the nations’ overall wealth and welfare.

Give reasons to smile :-)

Everyone in his life has a wrap of worries and concerns, Someone is worried for his career, someone has a family related issue, lot many are strucked in business, few are just too busy with the tension of studies, a lot many are busy with the tensions in friendship and amongst the friends... In my opinion, giving others a reason to worry is an easy task, it takes just fw minutes to hurt anyone, slap him, hit him, say him something undesired, it'll solve the purpose... but for spreading smiles something extra needs to be done.. it is difficult to manage tears than to bring them from someone's eyes. its too difficult to make others laugh from the heart... Looking at few of my peers ( not my close ones frm instt) , i find ppl changin for their parents, why do we tend to forget them ? when we grow? , why our friends become more important in a way tht they take a pie from the share of our moms and dads.. how many times do we think before saying a lie to our moms and dads. Hw do we ...

CRYSYS... The US Meltdown...

Pick out any news paper of today, i guess we have around 65000 newspapers that are registered.... The headline for today is Financial CRISIS... Our country is being affected by the global crisis, that have started from US's sub prime loan issues...  Well , its no surprise , if u look at the following few points.. you'll get an idea on the reasons: Most of our exports in the US, if they go down,we need to bear We have ample of foreign reserves in dollars, any change in their economy has a direct impact on ours. Many of our financial institutions have a connection with the investment bankers of US and  Europe, The prob of foreign exposure can be seen. Our Indian Stock market is very sensitive to information and sentiments, we are just followin the trend. The US is slowing down significantly and the US investors are at risk. That is something, which is a serious problem. If you look at market behavior, over the last 10-15 years, whenever the Fed cut rates, it has normally been goo...

Being there to somewhere.. Life Surprises(4)

PART 4 Related Parts:  PART 10   PART 9  PART 8  PART 7  PART 6   PART 5   PART 4   PART 3   PART 2   PART 1 With the post-graduation stepping into my life, the fear of being grown up kept rolling my mind. The exams and pattern of studies, although, had no fundamental change, but the pressure of higher studies had a superior space. Not that studies changed, neither were we getting scanned in the rule of autocratic professors, my mind had an urgency, an urge to just get into earning mode. The thought was to get whopping first salary of 2.26 lacs pm and do away with education loan :-) (Obviously Reliance Adag's campaign induced me to think bigger and better).
