Corporate Governance

Financial Management

One of the main applications of corporate governance to small businesses is transparency of financial practices and controls placed on how transactions occur. To this end, the Company will provide quarterly reports, and allow key stakeholders access to view reports such as the business’s balance sheet, cash flow statements or profit-and-loss reports.

Conflict of Interest

Board members, partners, owners and key executives have signed conflict-of-interest disclosure statements as part of the Company’s corporate governance. In addition, they should agree to abide by conflict-of-interest policies, such as disclosing outside business relationships with vendors, suppliers, clients and customers and personal or family relationships to these parties or job applicants.

Hiring Practices

As part of good public relations, corporate social responsibility and meeting any state or federal hiring guidelines, we write and publicize hiring statements that assert the company’s commitment to fair hiring practices and non-discrimination.
