Corporate Governance
Board structure, committee function, and accountability principles that sit above any single statute or regulation.
Corporate governance covers how a board is structured and how it actually functions — independence, committee mandates, disclosure discipline, and the accountability mechanisms that determine whether statutory compliance translates into real oversight.
This domain is reserved for governance principles that cut across a specific Companies Act section or SEBI regulation: board effectiveness, director accountability, and the practical gap between formal compliance and substantive governance.
