Corporate Governance

In terms of transparency and in order to achieve business objectives, it is essential for each company to be managed according to a powerful framework of rules and regulations.

The importance of Corporate Governance

Corporate Governance is one of the main Pillars of modern entrepreneurship. Refers to the system by which corporations are directed and controlled. Governance is a mechanism for monitoring the actions, policies and decisions of corporations. According to the Greek legislation in force (Law No. 3016, Law No. 3873 etc.), listed companies on the Athens Stock Exchange are obliged to submit a corporate governance statement. Nevertheless, the adoption of the principles and practices of corporate governance concerns equally and non-listed companies.In this context, we can help the company to adopt and implement corporate governance rules in order to enhance the reliability of financial information and the transparency of corporate decisions.
