Significant corporate governance mechanisms positively influence voluntary corporate disclosure practices among listed companies in India. The level of voluntary corporate disclosure in annual reports of Indian companies is determined by factors such as board size, board independence, board diversity, ownership concentration, and the presence of key committees (audit, nomination, and remuneration committees).Compliance with corporate governance regulations and requirements significantly impacts voluntary corporate disclosure practices in India. This research focuses on the interaction between corporate governance and voluntary disclosure in the workplace. In fact, determining the factors that determine corporate governance and the amount of disclosure, and knowing the process of corporate governance is essential. The primary goal of this article is to learn how governance systems, both internal and external, affect the data published in annual reports. The question of whether managers reveal more or less will also be addressed.

Saurabh Chandra and Simran Sharma
IGI Global
Corporate governance refers to the controls, procedures, and relationships that govern corporations. It consists of the policies and procedures for making business decisions as well as the methods used to create and pursue an organization's goals in the context of the social, regulatory, and market environments. Monitoring corporate policies, practices, and choices, as well as those of their agents and other stakeholders, is a function of governance structures. The rights and obligations of the various members of the corporation are defined by the governance structures and principles. Corporate governance in India is governed by various laws, regulations, and guidelines that aim to ensure transparency, accountability, and responsible management of companies. The framework for corporate governance in India includes both mandatory requirements as well as voluntary guidelines. In recent years, there has been a growing recognition worldwide of the importance of gender-inclusive governance in corporate structures. This recognition stems from the understanding that diverse perspectives, including those of women, are essential for effective decision-making, risk management, and sustainable business practices. In the Indian context, where gender disparities have historically been prevalent, there has been a push to introduce frameworks and guidelines to promote gender-inclusive corporate governance. Globally, the call for more gender diversity on corporate boards has been gaining momentum. The Companies Act, 2013 in India also recognizes the importance of gender diversity and provides for mandatory appointment of atleast one women director in the listed and other specified class of companies. In the past years, there have been a variety of instances when a corporate crisis has been caused by systematic fraud against investors that involves deception and suppression of crucial information that would-be investors should be aware of. This paper discusses legislative perspectives on the framework for corporate governance in India, specifically focusing on gender inclusion.

An important development in theft prevention and user convenience is the incorporation of IoT technology and biometric authentication into motorcycle security systems. The conventional key-based systems that offer real-time monitoring and alarms can be replaced by biometric systems. Biometric authentication—which makes use of fingerprint scanners or facial recognition cameras—improves user experience and security by doing away with the need for keys or passwords, and IoT technology tracks motorcycle movements that aren't normal, allowing for real-time notifications through a smartphone app in the event of theft. Manufacturers can better understand user behavior and improve product features through the gathering and analysis of data on usage patterns, environmental conditions, and security breaches. This process improves security systems.

This study looks at the impact of AI-related terminology on financial performance as well as the frequency and extent to which Jordanian banks discuss and apply AI technology in their operating procedure. The distribution of AI and related information in the textual data of the annual report is examined using content analysis. The disclosure of AI-related terminology has been expanding gradually since 2014, according to a regression study of 115 annual reports covering the years 2014-2021 from 15 Jordanian banks listed on the Amman Stock Exchange. However, it appears that Jordanian financial institutions are only dabbling in AI, as some of them have disclosed very little. According to the results, institutions' financial performance is affected by the release of AI-related terminology. This confirms what some have suspected all along: that accounting performance is enhanced by AI in terms of ROA and ROE, while costs are reduced in all other areas. Additionally, it supports the widely held view that AI may boost profits while decreasing expenses. In a number of ways, this research adds to the expanding canon of artificial intelligence literature, particularly that which deals with AI voluntary disclosure. First, it gauges the current state of AI adoption in practice by creating an AI disclosure index, which gives an objective measurement of AI's usage. Secondly, it sheds light on how financial performance relates to AI disclosure. As a third point, it emphasises the necessity for disclosure guidance rules and backs the work of legislators, international authorities, and supervisory organisations to confront AI disclosure challenges. In the end, it helps those working in banking who are implementing AI-driven process transformations and lends credence to the idea that financial organisations would benefit from increased transparency regarding AI and better informed decision-making.

The beginning of humankind marks trade and exchange of goods and services across borders. In the earliest days, goods were exchanged for goods; this was termed as a barter system. With globalization and liberalisation of trade, goods and services travel across nations. In order to regulate these trading activities, a uniform set of rules and guidelines are required so as not to discriminate against nations and ensure peace and stability on a global level. The WTO which regulates these trading activities was formed so as to promote free and fair movement of trade, facilitate trade without discrimination, fair competition, etc. This chapter examines the utilization of compulsory licensing provisions within the TRIPS framework, focusing on India's experience and its implications for public health and intellectual property rights (IPR). Through a comprehensive analysis of legal frameworks, case studies, and policy implications, it elucidates India's approach to compulsory licensing, highlighting its role in enhancing access to essential medicines while balancing competing interests.
