This comprehensive textbook is meticulously aligned with the Undergraduate Curriculum Framework – 2022 (NEP) for B.Com. (Hons.) and B.Com. courses at the University of Delhi. It offers an in-depth understanding of corporate governance principles, regulations, and practices in both Indian and global contexts. Written lucidly, the book bridges theory with corporate incidents, ensuring that readers gain conceptual clarity and practical insights into corporate governance challenges.

By examining landmark failures (e.g., Enron, WorldCom, Satyam, and Kingfisher) and exploring the regulatory framework (e.g., Companies Act, 2013, SEBI (LODR) Regulations, 2015), the text demonstrates how good governance underpins corporate success and how lapses can have far-reaching consequences. Case studies, recent codes, and best practices are interwoven throughout the discussion, thus providing a 360-degree perspective on this critical domain.
