Reframing Governance in State-Owned Companies
Reframing Governance in State-Owned Companies
Boards derive their authority from law—not from political office. Governance failures are often the result of blurred accountability lines, where responsibility is diffused and oversight weakened. Sustainable reform requires extending fiduciary responsibility beyond boards to those who exercise shareholder power. A governance model anchored in legal clarity, institutional resilience, and accountability is essential to restoring effectiveness in state-owned companies.
Dr Tong-Mongalo advises boards, institutions, and public entities on governance frameworks, accountability structures, and legal compliance. Her work includes contributions to governance reform initiatives and corporate law development, as well as adjudication of corporate disputes in her capacity at the Companies Tribunal.
