The Narayan Murthy Committee report on corporate governance from 2003 made several mandatory and non-mandatory recommendations. Mandatory recommendations included establishing audit committees, regulating related party transactions, and requiring codes of conduct and whistleblower policies. Non-mandatory recommendations encouraged moving to unqualified financial statements, board member training, and evaluating board performance through peer reviews. The goal of the report was to strengthen corporate governance frameworks and increase transparency and protections for whistleblowers.
