The first paper, "The Effect of Board Structure on the Human Resource Disclosure Practices of the Indian Corporate", by Kirti Aggarwal, examines the factors that influence the Human Resource Disclosure Practices. To measure the same, the author has constructed a Human Resource Disclosure Index (HRDI). The motivation for the study has come from the fact that there is inadequacy in disclosure, and associated decisions are taken on the basis of insufficient information shared. Indian companies from BSE-100 Index have been considered for the study for a seven-year period (2012-13 to 2018-19). The study excludes banking and financial sectors. To achieve the proposed research objective, the study has employed Pearson's correlations matrix and OLS regression model. The study reveals that on an average the selected companies disclose 47.13% HR. The results show that board meetings, audit committee and CEO duality have significant positive effect on HRDI.

The second paper, "Corporate Governance, Audit Committee Characteristics and Firm Performance: Evidence from India", by Shikha Mittal Shrivastav, investigates the relationship between variables such as audit committee characteristics and firm performance of companies. The motivation for the study comes from the ineffective implementation of corporate governance measures, which has resulted in several corporate mishappenings and inadequate organizational performance. The proposed relationship is backed by literature, which led to the development of the hypothesis. Independent variables considered for the study are Number of Board Level Committees (Comm), Audit Committee Size (ACS), Audit Committee Independence (ACI) and Audit Committee Meetings (ACM). The panel data of 178 non-financial companies, for a period of 8 years from 2008 to 2015, have been considered. The study recommends that audit committee should comprise many directors based on the regulations of The Companies Act.

The third paper, "Efficacy of Corporate Governance Performance in Regulating Related Party Transactions: An Analysis of Indian Listed Companies", by Ajaz Ul Islam, examines the impact of corporate governance practices on Related Party Transactions (RPTs). To achieve the research objective, the author has chosen the impact of independence of the board, board size, active/passive board, Key Management Persons' (KMPs) remunerations and auditor's remuneration as variables. The author has substantiated the proposed hypothesis with adequate literature evidence. The non-financial companies listed on Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) have been considered. The author has considered six-year data starting from FY2013-14 to FY2018-19. The study reemphasizes the importance of independent directors and suggests nominating one of them as chairman of the audit committee.

The last paper, "Does Corporate Governance Impact Firm Performance and Firm Risk? Empirical Evidence from India", by Harsh Raj Pathak, Vijaya Lakshmi S and Sonali Narbariya investigates the concerns raised in research that corporate governance practices are compromised. The authors also explore the possible relationship between CG and firm risk. The authors have made use of multiple regression model in the study. The results obtained suggest considering two major premises, board composition and audit committee, which have a positive impact on firm performance.
