Corporate governance is the skeleton on which hangs the flesh of the business.
Good corporate governance is a vital part of, and even a prerequisite to, a successful business. Demonstrable good governance practice enables internal and external expectation management around corporate responsibilities and, on a more practical level, can reduce insurance premiums and regulatory concern.
Without good corporate governance in place, a business can be paralysed by uncertainty around decision-making, or even crippled by fraud or other illegality by employees.
With it, there can be greater confidence in delegations of authority, allowing executive managers and directors to concentrate on broader strategy and growing the business.
