It’s become strategically important to link good governance with business performance, which means you can’t afford to hand the reins to an external provider who removes the compliance burden on one hand, but still requires a lot of management on the other. At Computershare, we believe that to achieve good governance you must have a good design. That’s why Computershare’s governance and company secretarial professionals bring service quality, market-leading insight, and leading board and entity management technology that delivers measurable time and cost savings.
