Today’s increased focus on corporate governance means that boards of directors, managers and other executives need advice in the development and evaluation of governance structures and processes. The demand for these services has been driven by corporate managers and Boards interested in improving governance, satisfying shareholders and regulators, and preventing lawsuits.

Fundamental to any corporate governance structure is establishing the roles of the Board and senior executives. Corporate governance is a key element in enhancing investor confidence, promoting competitiveness, and ultimately improving economic growth. The presence of strong governance standards ultimately provides better access to capital and aids fiscal growth.

Corporate governance also has broader social and institutional dimensions. Properly designed rules of governance should focus on implementing the values of fairness, transparency, accountability and responsibility to both shareholders and stakeholders. In order to be effectively and ethically governed, businesses need not only good internal governance, but also must operate in a sound institutional environment.
