The Ministry of Corporate Affairs is all set to introduce a governance code for unlisted companies on the lines of the one for listed firms to encourage more companies to register on the stock exchanges.

The Corporate Affairs Ministry wants to introduce a new concept called the ‘knowledge test’ to find out if directors had previous knowledge of a company’s wrongful acts. As a first step, it would be ensured that the board processes are totally transparent. If it is found that the board papers had a mention of any wrongful act, and a director to whom the papers were circulated did not get his objections recorded in the minutes of the meeting, then he would be deemed to have colluded to commit that wrongful act.

Within the current framework of the company law there is no provision for compensation for shareholders in the event of negligence or fraud being committed by company directors.
