Abstract: This book chapter delves into the complex dynamics between corporate governance and digital finance, thoroughly examining this intersection’s risks, rewards and policy ramifications. The story begins with a look back at the development of corporate governance and then traces the revolutionary effects of digital money on established institutions. We examine how the two worlds are converging, focusing on how technological advancements influence new approaches to money management. This section helps readers understand the difficulties policymakers confront in keeping up with the ever-shifting digital world as they attempt to modify existing regulatory frameworks. Regulatory flexibility, cybersecurity risks, openness and data governance are emerging as essential policy issues. Case studies shed light on practical implementations, offering assistance for businesses only beginning to incorporate digital finance into their management systems. As the digital finance era unfolds, the chapter explores future directions, anticipating trends that include decentralized governance models, enhanced cybersecurity measures, the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and global standardization. Ethical considerations, sustainability and social responsibility are integral to governance. Insights gained from real-world experiences underscore the importance of adaptability, collaboration and ethical decision-making. The narrative concludes with a forward-looking perspective, positioning organizations to navigate the evolving landscape with resilience and innovation. The abstract encapsulates a holistic view of the chapter, offering readers a glimpse into the complexities and opportunities at the intersection of corporate governance and digital finance.
