The journal Advances in Corporate Governance (ACG), an open-access journal published by AOSIS, creates an intellectual environment that supports and promotes academic inquiry facilitating global collaboration on governance and governance-related research. ACG’s intent is to attract, collaborate, share and build knowledge to further understand business-related issues, increase awareness on governance, and improve innovation in business.

ACG, in addition to creating awareness, producing research, and enabling discourse on issues pertaining to corporate governance, will highlight the work of resolute individuals that intend to foster and drive good corporate governance in their organisations, communities, and countries.
