Background:

Corporate governance has over the years become a critical element of success in most progressive organisations across the world. Since the 1970s, organisations have adopted corporate governance, which is a system of rules and practices that guide a company’s operations to achieve its strategic objectives. Some of the benefits of good corporate governance include, among others: increased financial performance and sustainability; creating opportunities for an organisation to gain a competitive advantage; minimising risk; and providing a framework to guide decision making at all levels. Ultimately, corporate governance is one of the major factors contributing to improved organisational results and growth. In this regard, it is important for private, public sector and non-governmental organisations to adopt corporate governance principles in their practices and operations.
