danlan It's more used to overcome conflicts among different group in a same corporate, that's why D and not A
Poorvi I thought it was C! That is Corporate Ethics I guess.
group D is a more complete answer since it talks about priniciples, policies and procedures used to manage and control activities of a corporation in order to overcome conflicts of interest inherent in the corporate form.
ascruggs92 It is also not A because it is not just to monitor management, but to look out for shareholders best interests in general
