Corporate Governance Audits for Business Groups

Corporate governance succeeds when its written rules guide actual business decisions. Each company in a group generally has its own governing bodies and legal responsibilities.

What to keep in mind

Review board composition, intercompany transactions, authorities, reporting and approval processes across entities.

Unrecorded group instructions may obscure responsibility and create conflicts of interest.

Distinctions often confused

Economic group membership does not erase separate corporate personality.

Frequently asked questions

Can one group manager direct all subsidiaries without formal powers?
Authority should be properly documented for each relevant entity.
Should intercompany operations be separately approved?
Where required, yes, respecting each company's interests and applicable rules.
