32The four essential principles of Mahatma Gandhi's philosophy - Truth, Ahimsa, Trusteeship and Constructive Action are widely quoted the worldover.
Gandhi said we don't own the talent but we are appointed "Trustees" by God and so we must use the talent to help others, less fortunate or talented than us.
The Board of Director being Trustees should work with highest level of integrity and independence and strive for growth of all stakeholders.

GOVERNANCE LANDSCAPE INTERNATIONAL TRENDS
Corporate Governance - Scenario in IndiaPromoters think Corporate Governance is all about complying with LawCompanies Act, 2013 & SEBI (LODR) Regulations, 2015 lay down the broad framework of CG.A CG certificate at the end of every F.Y., is good enough to certify your CG status
Corporate Governance - Scenario in India
Key components of CG consist of:
CG Theory & Practice in India
Integrated Reporting by Listed Entities Compensation AgreementsBoard Evaluation NormsSustainability Reporting Secretarial Standards
Recent Developments
Role of Independent Directors Independent Directors are the messiah of Corporate Governance in IndiaGood or bad Corporate Governance, Independent Directors are responsibleSo far, Independent Directors have performed averagely.Positive impact created by Independent Director Board processes and meetings, have become more sacrosanct. Bring experience & expertise, on tablePromoters have become more careful.
Role of Independent Directors Why Independent Directors have failed to create a much bigger impact?Afraid to take aggressive standDont have any veto power or are suppressed by brute promoter majorityAlways at the mercy of Promoters, who can appoint and remove them at any point of time. Conflict of interest
Corporate Governance issues - TATA/InfosysKey ReasonsProfessionally managed companiesFollows ethical business practicesHonest PromotersCreated value for Stakeholders But recent events raise eyebrows What can be the probable reasons:Lack of confidence between Board & PromotersDeviation from business philosophy Question mark on business decisionsTill recently, TATA & Infosys renowned example of good Corporate Governance Practices
What we learn?Bust the myth that professionally governed companies follow high standards of CG compared to promoter driven businesses. Extent to which promoters should interfere with professionally managed Board Limit up to which promoters and professionally managed Boards should interact on business related issuesPromoters or Independent Directors, who should be the real judge of evaluation of performance of Directors Whether professionally managed Board should work on the basis of broad philosophy of promoters or changing business dynamics.Independent Directors are we allowing them to play an important role?
CG vs GreedOrganizations are driven by Leaders and their philosophy Personal aspirations play an important role in the success/downfall of any organization Personal Aspirations & CG are two sides of same coin. High personal aspirations come at the cost of good CG practices. Some live examples are :
CG ParametersDifferent type of entities, different objectives, therefore different CG parameters TypeWorking patternPSUSocialisticBureaucratic controlsProfessional Driven CompaniesHigh accountability Maximizing stakeholders wealthPromoter Driven CompaniesPersonal Wealth creation
As an organization Have a dynamic stakeholder driven visionFocus on innovative practices Undertake sustainable development effortsUse Information Technology to make governance more efficient and effective Creating effective and robust Board processes through Use of Information TechnologyStructured Agenda and MIS
Recommendations to further improve CG
DirectorsEncouragement to speak freelyInstitutionalization of appointment of Independent DirectorsImplementing a rational and objective Directors Performance Evaluation system and disclosing its results with the shareholders. Clear and objective Succession planning taking Board in confidenceDisclosures Timely & effective disclosures to all stakeholderMore focus should be on non-financial disclosuresSimple and Standard annual report should be prepared
Recommendations to further improve CG
Policies Should be more result oriented Should reflect spirit rather than compliance of lawEmployeesCreate a happiness index in organizationPromote Entrepreneurship Disciplining of Professionals effective oversight of the accounting and audit profession
Recommendations to further improve CG
Clarity of Law Simplification of law will need to better governance
Thus, Although a lot has been done, but a lot needs to be done.
