Companies have a significant impact on and are affected by public life, as their performance can influence jobs, income, savings, pensions, living standards, and other aspects of individuals' and institutions' lives within society. Therefore, companies must be accountable for their commitment to the broader framework of social welfare and progress. Given the crucial importance of corporate governance in the advancement of economies and societies, several developed and emerging countries have focused on establishing strong governance practices to stabilize markets in these economies. Corporate governance aims to improve resource efficiency, maximize company value, and strengthen its competitive position in markets, enabling it to attract local and global financial resources for expansion and growth. This, in turn, creates new job opportunities while maintaining the stability of financial markets and banking institutions, ultimately leading to the desired economic efficiency and development.
