Answer
Tanu,
Corporate governance is nothing but best practices adopted by companies to bring in better transparency in management of the company. Most of the regulators world wide have made regulations to ensure that the companies follow the best practices laid down by them and has required the companies to mandatorily reveal the CG compliance in the annual report. Check annual report of any company and you will know whether they are complying with CG requirements. I am unaware of Tobins Q;
