framework.
Becht et al. (2007) conducted a survey on the main mechanisms of corporate law and
governance, discussed the main legal and regulatory institutions in different countries, and
examined the comparative governance literature. Corporate governance is concerned with the
reconciliation of conflicts of interest between various corporate claimholders and the

the various legal frameworks adopted by different regulatory bodies of the BRICS nations so
as to provide valuable insights about the topic of research. Furthermore, the study will be
based on the analysis of corporate governance in the viewpoint of comparative law and
economic analysis. The study will utilise data collected from various governmental reports
and previous literature so as to comparatively analyse the enforcement practices for corporate
governance adopted by the different BRICS nations. The role of BRICS nation in the global
scenario as emerging economies induces economic changes and hence,, these nations are
