Corporate governance refers broadly to the rules, processes, or laws by which businesses are operated, regulated, and controlled.  Effective corporate governance provides a structure that works for the benefit of everyone concerned by ensuring that the business is employing the best market practices and ensures that the business adhears to the applicable laws, rules and regulations.

Companies vary greatly is size, complexity, industry, ownership structure and other characteristics and so there is no simple formula for good corporate governance.

Large companies will traditionally have corporate governance addressed by an internal company secretary. Smaller companies often have similar needs to those of large companies, but do not have the inhouse knowledge and therefore require the expertise of an external company secretary on a part-time basis.

Hopkins Corporate Solutions provides company secretarial services to many public and proprietary companies, including a listed public company, and so is able to fill this role.
