Types of Corporate Governance Best Practices

Best practices for corporate governance are not only for businesses that are legally incorporated as corporations. It’s a framework that requires leaders to go beyond simply implement well-designed strategies. They must be accountable and fair to all stakeholders. Regardless of whether your business has one or many stakeholders–shareholders, employees, clients, students or the community–your company’s approach to governance will change over time and depend on your unique needs and context. But there are a few general ideas that can be applied to any business, large or small:

One of the most important aspects of a good corporate governance system is transparency. This means that your management and board members are transparent with auditors, shareholders and the public regarding financial reporting accounting standards, major decisions and internal practices. This means that your organization should provide information on its environmental and social impacts easily accessible to anyone who may be interested.

Setting clear roles and responsibilities is a further aspect of corporate governance. This can be done by creating job descriptions for the board as well as its chairperson and vice-chairperson committees, as well their chairs, or by setting up terms of reference for directors on their own. This will provide a common set of responsibilities, as and clear boundaries to delegate and limits on the power of. It helps to create a strong culture of open communication and collaboration, while helping to minimize mistakes and ensure compliance with regulations. It can also lead to better growth opportunities as your company expands and diversifies.
