CG – science, craft or art?

‘Governance is about the quality of management supervision, ensuring that the company is managed in the interest of shareholders and other stakeholders. Compliance is about adherence to rules and regulations which are a necessary, but not a sufficient, condition for good governance. Used in the context of a football game, governance describes the quality of the game, while compliance ensures playing by the rules.’
