An important practical consideration for many listed companies in the context of corporate governance is the way in which their corporate governance frameworks are viewed by institutional investors and proxy advisors.

In addition to legislation, there are numerous guidelines and standards that have been produced by organisations and industry bodies which provide companies with further guidance on matters of corporate governance. This subtopic notes various examples, including the OECD Principles of Corporate Governance, and publications from Standards Australia, the Australian Council of Superannuation Investors, the Australian Institute of Company Directors and the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority.
