The Securities and Exchange Commission of Ghana issued this 2020 framework to establish comprehensive corporate governance standards for all companies listed on the Ghana Stock Exchange. The Code mandates balanced board composition with a majority of independent non-executive directors, clearly defines committee duties, and requires robust risk management, internal controls, and transparent related-party transaction procedures. It further enforces rigorous director appointment and evaluation processes, mandatory annual reporting, and active shareholder engagement to ensure long-term accountability and investor protection.
