Good corporate governance creates wealth for a company, its stakeholders and for the capital markets. As a director, you must demonstrate your engagement in company issues, contribute to shareholder value creation, meet regulator requirements and mitigate risk to avoid liability. To meet these evolving demands, you need access to the right information and best board practices.
How we can help
Corporate reporting
Good external reporting requires sound internal management, clear articulation of a value proposition and reporting on measures most relevant to value creation. As auditors of financial statements and company disclosures, we offer our best judgment to audit committees and boards so they can benefit from our expertise, and reassure investors that disclosures are based on sound and ethical financial management. Our assurance enables our clients to retain their shareholders' confidence and investment and to build the public's trust in the capital markets system.
Custom solutions
PwC assists boards and management by reviewing their current governance practices and comparing them to the relevant rules and guidelines, and best practices. For any gaps we identify, we recommend changes to practices, which will meet standards and accomplish effective corporate governance. Since board and management dynamics vary across organizations, we tailor our process to provide the best solutions for your needs.
Assessing your corporate governance
The most effective way to review an organization's corporate governance is to interview the directors and senior management. We also review any relevant documentation such as, board and committee mandates and board and committee meeting agendas and minutes.
Global expertise and experience
Our PwC Corporate Governance Practice stays current with the global best practices of governance in North America and internationally. We also collect best-practice experience through our roles as external auditors and consultants, by conducting research, and by reviewing the latest research findings in the corporate governance field.
