Recent corporate world scandals and the global financial recessions have opened the doors of rethinking about the financial system and internal control mechanisms of the organizations. The recognition of the importance of good corporate governance practices in the organizations is getting momentum. Bank corporate governance is particularly important in less developed countries like Bangladesh because its economic development and growth depends mostly on a well functioning, stable and soundly managed banking system. This monograph, therefore, provides an insight into the corporate governance practices in Bangladesh along with a special focus on the banking sector. It also provides a nutshell of recent international trends on corporate governance. Finally it provides a conceptual framework of corporate governance for the better evaluation of corporate governance practices in Bangladesh. This monograph will be particularly useful for the professionals as well as academicians. Moreover it will provide a road map to the future researchers in the field of corporate governance.
