+'''Corporate governance''' refers to the system of rules, practices, and processes by which a company is directed and controlled. It involves balancing the interests of a company's stakeholders, such as shareholders, management, customers, suppliers, financiers, government, and the community. Corporate governance essentially defines the framework for achieving a company's objectives, managing risks, ensuring transparency, and enhancing accountability.
 Corporate governance is most often viewed as both the structure and the relationships which determine corporate direction and performance. The board of directors is typically central to corporate governance. Its relationship to the other primary participants, typically [[Shareholder|shareholders]] and management, is critical. Additional participants include employees, customers, suppliers, and creditors. The corporate governance framework also depends on the legal, regulatory, institutional and ethical environment of the community. Whereas the 20th century might be viewed as the age of management, the early 21st century is predicted to be more focused on governance. Both terms address control of corporations but governance has always required an examination of underlying purpose and legitimacy. – – James McRitchie, Corporate Governance Publisher 8/1999<ref>Corporate Governance Defined [https://www.corpgov.net/library/corporate-governance-defined/ CorpGov.Net]</ref>
