A Journey Beyond the Code

At Grant Thornton Aruba, we believe that in today’s business landscape, the essence of good Corporate Governance (CoGo) extends far beyond a ‘tick-the-box mentality’ and only adhering to Codes. We are committed to spreading awareness about the crucial role of good Corporate Governance, which we believe is an essential part of the organizational culture that must be nourished at every level of the organization to steadily improve the organization’s performance in such a way that its growth is also aligned with the organization’s values.

Our approach to Corporate Governance is pragmatic: 

We begin by understanding your business, industry, and specific governance and compliance needs.
We help you develop and strengthen governance structures and practices that address shareholder and stakeholder expectations.
And we do so within the boundaries of operational and commercial acceptability.

Grant Thornton Aruba provides Corporate Governance services in five main areas:
