Introduction
Tesco PLC has had governance and strategic challenges despite its success. The
company's £263 million profit overstatement caused a scandal in 2014. The scandal raised
questions about the company's accounting, financial reporting, and corporate governance. The
controversy caused investor distrust, a stock price drop, and regulatory inquiries. Along with the
accounting scandal, Tesco's corporate governance issues have included CEO compensation,
board effectiveness and independence, and risk management (Student, 2021). The company's
strategy has also struggled, especially with Amazon's growing competitors and customers'
changing tastes.
