Description

Abstract
India is undergoing significant reforms concerning corporate governance following the passage of the 2013 Companies Act. The reforms are expected to increase the standards of accountability and transparency, improve the functioning of boards, and empower participation by women. The act came into effect from 1 April 2014. There is considerable interest in examining the effectiveness of the new provisions and the processes by which firms adjust to them. The existing data and prior studies on the topic focus on a small number of listed firms, usually about 5000 firms. By contrast, it is estimated that there are more than a million firms operating in India currently.
