Definition

According to OECD:Corporate Governance is the system by which
business corporations are directed and controlled. The corporate governance structure
specifies the distribution of rights and responsibilities among different participants in the corporation, such as, the board, managers, shareholders and other stakeholders, and spells
out the rules and procedures for making decisions on corporate affairs. By doing this, it also provides the structure through which the company objectives are set, and the means of
attaining these objectives and monitoring performance.

Another Definition

According to LaPorta et al., (2000), Corporate governance is a set of mechanisms through which outside
investors protect themselves against expropriation by the insiders. They define “the insiders” as both managers and
controlling shareholders.

Corporate governance refers to the manner in which the affairs of a corporate body
should be conducted in order to serve and protect
the individual and collective interests of all stakeholders.

What is a Corporate Body?
8
Any Company is a corporate body. However, in a broader sense only public limited companies are taken to be the subject matter of CG.
So far the thrust of CG is only on listed companies.
Greatest emphasis is on those that are controlled by closed groups.
In USA and Europe, companies are frequently run by minority shareholders. Hence, they require even greater degree of CG.
