The rules mandate fair shareholder treatment, clear dividend policies, and robust board structures with independent directors and specialized committees overseeing audit, remuneration, nominations, and risk management. Furthermore, the regulations enforce strict internal control systems, external auditor oversight, transparent disclosure practices, and conflict of interest protocols to enhance corporate accountability and stakeholder protection.
