A concise glossary to help you understand the terms commonly used in governance, compliance, and corporate transactions within California.
Governance refers to the framework of rules, practices, and processes by which a company is directed and controlled to achieve strategic objectives.
Compliance means conforming with applicable laws, regulations, and internal policies that affect how a business operates.
