Abstract

This study aims to analyse the corporate governance practices and financial disclosure mechanisms within Tripura Gramin Bank, focusing on their alignment with regulatory standards and best practices. The potential impact of this research is significant, as corporate governance and transparency are crucial for the sustainable development of financial institutions, ensuring accountability and protecting the interests of stakeholders. The research examines the bank's compliance with established corporate governance frameworks and the extent of financial disclosures in its annual reports. Using a comprehensive indexing method, the study assesses various aspects, including board composition, audit practices, risk management, and stakeholder engagement. Data was collected from annual reports, regulatory filings, and interviews with key personnel. The findings reveal that while Tripura Gramin Bank has made significant strides in adopting robust governance practices, there are areas for improvement, particularly in enhancing the clarity and comprehensiveness of financial disclosures.
