Why is a corporate governance handbook important?
The corporate governance handbook is like a rulebook for the board. Without it, an organisation exposes itself to ineffective governance, a clear understanding of the board’s role and the possibility of breaching legal obligations.
Compliance
A board can quickly determine whether it is compliant with various aspects of governance using the handbook.
Best practice
An organisation’s link between international best practices and local regulations is strengthened by the handbook.
Efficiency
The handbook helps policymakers quickly identify any gaps and strengthen regulatory frameworks.
Become a smarter and more effective leader. Fully understand the importance of the corporate governance handbook for your board.
