Relevance of this subject is that modern life constantly dictates new rules of the game. Today the future of the companies in many respects if not generally is defined by quality of corporate governance which is considered as one of effective ways of increase of investment appeal of the companies and, as a result, improvement of investment climate in the country.it is necessary to understand as corporate governance?
