As India aspires to its rightful position as a global leader, the focus will be on Corporate India and on Indian markets. Corporate India has a key role in nation building and corporate governance is an integral part of the broader governance of the country.
Corporate Governance has in recent times emerged as perhaps the most important issue in Business and Management, primarily because of its far-reaching impact on the society and its functioning, as demonstrated by some recent happenings in the Corporate World.
Research provides robust evidence that companies that exhibit sound Corporate Governance generate significantly greater returns when compared to companies that exhibit poor Corporate Governance. Number of studies have been conducted in India and Abroad investigating different components of Corporate Governance disclosure practices through annual reports.
Since this being an evolving and emerging issue, the path towards best international practices will continue and the corporate world needs to understand the emerging trends in ensuring better Corporate Governance Practices.
In this regard, Institute of Directors, Tamil Nadu & Puducherry Region, is organizing this Conference to bring all relevant stakeholders to one platform to listen to experts, discuss and share their insights on various issues pertaining to recent trends in Corporate Governance. Thus the theme for the Conference was rightly chosen as 'Emerging trends in Corporate Governance'.
