Corporate  governance  is  a  complex, multi‐faceted  subject matter  involving  not  only  legislation  and 

regulation but also what  is usually known as  ‘best practice’, which  is very much a matter of corporate 

culture, mind‐set and education. 

Corporate  governance  is  concerned with  the way  the power  is  exercised over  corporate  entities. All 

corporate  entities  need  governing —  listed  companies, wholly‐owned  subsidiaries,  subsidiaries with 

minority interests, family‐dominated companies, joint ventures, not‐for‐profit entities, and the rest. 

Corporate governance needs to be distinguished from management: management runs the enterprise, 

while the governing body ensures that it is being well run and is heading in the right direction. 

The  steps  that  companies  and  their  boards  could  take  towards better  corporate  governance  include 

recognizing  that good  corporate governance  is about  the effectiveness of  the governing body — not 

about compliance with codes; reviewing board processes  including the chairman’s  leadership role, the 

balance and style of the board, the caliber and contribution of the outside directors, and monitor the 

board’s performance; and improving directors’ knowledge of the business and ensure that they have the 

information  they  want.  Other  steps  involve  ensuring  that  directors’  remuneration  packages  are 

justifiable  and  justified;  reviewing  relations  between  the  company  and  shareholders,  particularly 

institutional  investors,  and with  auditors,  regulators,  and  other  stakeholders;  and,  ensuring  that  the 

company secretary along with legal professionals provides value to the Stakeholders. 

In view of  the above Dr. Ram Manohar  Lohiya  Law University,  Lucknow and Northern  India Regional 

Council  of  ICSI  are  organizing  a  National  Conference  on  “Corporate  Governance  in  the  context  of 

changing  socio‐economic  imperatives”.   We  hope  that  the  deliberations  shall  immensely  benefit  the 

Academicians, Professionals and Students of this field. 

Apart from hard controls as embodied in Companies act, 2013, soft controls are indispensable for better 

corporate governance. 

Conference Theme (suggestive, not limited to) 

The conference will address the issues relating to‐ 

Accounts and Audit 

Licensing and Assignment of Intellectual Property
