Modern enterprise is an aggregate of multilateral contracts. Among the kinds of covenant relationships, the most important one is the clientage. But the asymmetry of information, the incompletion of contracts- and inequity of responsibilities between client and attorney may affect the efficiency and effect of prosecution. Risk and cost of surrogate emerge according to the situations. So it is necessary to constitute standardized supervision & control mechanism. Corporate governance is the appropriate one to realize the balance of power so as to ensure consigner's rights and interests, and to guarantee the efficiency and the effect of prosecution. Corporate governance consists of external and internal mechanism. However, the necessary external competition mechanism is still deficient in China, such as the lack of effective capital market, mergers & acquisitions market, mature manpower market and bankruptcy system. So it goes without saying that the internal corporate governance mechanism is the crucial point of Chinese enterprise's governance.Internal control, which is a kind of self-discipline system of promptings and restrictions, is a significant component of corporate governance. It plays a role of internal supervision & control system and it is a vital guarantee to realize the goals of internal corporate governance.
