Corporate governance refers to the structures and processes for the direction and control of companies. Additionally, it concerns the relationships among the management, Board of Directors, controlling shareholders, minority shareholders, and other stakeholders. Therefore it is about what the board of a company does and how it sets the values of the company, and it is to be distinguished from the day to day operational management of the company by full-time executives.

Companies that engage in corporate governance align the long-term goals of shareholders, management and employees, which includes recognizing a civic duty to benefit the locales in which the companies operate.

Challenges of Corporate Governance in Kenya

Challenges in corporate governance and business ethics may indicate that business after all is not making profit.

Good corporate governance helps companies operate more efficiently, improve access to capital, mitigate risk, and safeguard against mismanagement. Furthermore, it makes companies more accountable and transparent to investors and gives them the tools to respond to legitimate stakeholder concerns, such as sustainable environmental and social development. Corporate governance also contributes to development. Increased access to capital encourages new investments, boosts economic growth, and provides employment opportunities.
