While the principles of corporate governance—such as accountability, transparency, and risk management—are the same for all businesses, their frameworks may differ. Larger companies may require more formal structures, including committees and comprehensive reporting systems, while smaller businesses might adopt simpler governance practices.
Corporate governance plays a critical role in risk management by ensuring that risks are identified, assessed, and mitigated. This includes establishing internal controls, setting clear risk management policies, and regularly reviewing potential risks at the board level.
Corporate governance is regulated by the Corporations Act 2001, the ASX Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations (for listed companies), and various industry-specific regulations. Complying with these regulations ensures your business has proper oversight, ethical practices, and stakeholder accountability.
Regularly reviewing governance structures, improving board performance, fortifying internal controls, encouraging an open and accountable culture, and making sure that relevant legislation are followed are all part of improving corporate governance. Businesses can find gaps and apply best practices with the help of Olvera’s corporate governance consultancy service.
You should ensure that the board actively participates in strategy setting and monitoring, that governance policies support long-term goals, and that performance indicators are well-defined to connect governance with strategic goals.

Governance challenges can appear during mergers and acquisitions, such as ensuring proper due diligence, integrating different governance structures, maintaining board effectiveness, and managing stakeholder expectations. Olvera’s corporate governance advisory service can help navigate these complexities and ensure governance alignment throughout the M&A process.
