Internal Corporate Governance

Internal corporate governance refers to the processes and structures a company puts in place to ensure that it is managed ethically, transparently, and accountable. It includes the policies, procedures, and systems that a company uses to make decisions, set and achieve strategic goals, and manage risks.

An example of internal corporate governance might be a company’s code of conduct, which sets ethical standards and expectations for employees and guides their behavior. The code of conduct might cover conflicts of interest, insider trading, discrimination, and harassment.
