Abstract
Purpose of study: In this study, fiduciary accountability and sustainable business growth are examined. There is an inadequate study on the fiduciary accountability of directors in which directors are accountable for their actions such as approving expenditure on innovation, which results in low profit. As such this study will look into the innovation and sustainable business growth and how the fiduciary accountability of directors moot innovation technologically, encouraging innovative knowledge through social-media among the employees, product innovation to meet customers’ needs and, ensuring sustainable business growth.
Methodology: In order to have more reliability of the aforesaid a comparative study is made between one of the public listed companies and SMEs. Semi-structured interview methods are used in which open-ended questions are preferred to find out the particular areas.
Results: The results show that this study has triggered academic vigour in the future because of the new concept of “fiduciary accountabilityâ€, which is introduced in this literature.
Applications of this study: It has practical significance for corporations, directors, and academicians on fiduciary accountability of directors in harnessing profit to the corporation and enduring sustainable business growth. This is necessitated by the current trade restrictions.
Novelty/Originality of this study: This study on fiduciary accountability in relation to sustainable business growth is not scholarly explored and any study would go a long way in academic pursuance.
