Corporate governance
What is Corporate Governance and what is its purpose?
Corporate Governance is the set of rules, policies, processes and governing bodies that determine how a company is directed, managed and supervised. A sound corporate governance framework helps to clearly define the roles and responsibilities of shareholders, directors, senior management and other stakeholders, while enhancing transparency, risk management and decision-making.
The design and development of sound Corporate Governance rules are essential to ensure the proper functioning of a company’s different governing bodies and departments.
At AGM Abogados, we provide regular and ongoing advice to companies, shareholders, directors and boards of directors on the design, implementation and review of their Corporate Governance structures and rules. We apply national and international best practices, adapting them to the specific circumstances, structure and needs of each organisation.
