ABSTRACT

Ensuring good corporate governance is far more than complying with a legal and regulatory regime. It is a future-shaping activity, in which directions are set and managed, and decisions made with sustainability, ethics and integrity in mind. Corporate governance is about transparency and accountability, choice and influence in actions and decision making: choices that can lead to effective and ineffective impacts and consequences, or sustainable and unsustainable futures; as well as using or misusing power to influence outcomes, or doing the right thing versus the wrong thing.
