Corporate governance standards require listed companies to adopt revised board, audit and disclosure rules with mandated compliance reporting. The revised Clause 49 mandates corporate governance standards for listed companies, including board composition with defined independent directors and minimum non-executive representation; an empowered, predominantly independent Audit Committee with specified expertise, powers and duties; detailed disclosure requirements covering related party transactions, accounting treatment departures, risk management and director remuneration; subsidiary oversight obligations; CEO/CFO certification of financial statements and internal controls; and mandatory quarterly compliance reporting and an annual corporate governance section with an external compliance certificate.
