Corporate Governance
Corporate governance is
the system of rules and regulations under which a corporation is
directed and controlled. It should ensure trustworthy and legally
compliant behavior of all employees and other parties involved (for
example, members of the advisory board). SAP software can help to
ensure, but not guarantee, that the objectives are being followed
and met.
