The problem arises when there are conflicted interest between the management and the shareholders.

Corporate Governance are regulations, rules and systems that are in place to ensure that the management promotes the interest of the shareholders (and the stakeholders in general), it acts in an ethical way, it is held accountable for it actions and it promotes transparency.
