Corporate governance deals with the rights and responsibilities of a company’s management, its board, shareholders and various stakeholders. How well companies are run affects their performance, market confidence and private sector investment. OECD work on corporate governance is based on the OECD Principles of Corporate Governance and the OECD Guidelines on Corporate Governance of State-owned Enterprises. Regional roundtables and programmes provide key forums for dialogue with non-OECD economies. Permanent URL: www.oecd.org/daf/corporateaffairs
