Why are the governance handbook and good reporting essential for good governance?
The corporate governance handbook is like a rulebook for the board, while board members require comprehensive and clear reports to make informed decisions. Effective and good governance requires an organisation to clearly understand the board’s role. It relies on having vital reporting information readily available.
Compliance
A board can quickly determine whether it is compliant with various aspects of governance using the handbook.
Opportunity
A well-thought-out report allows board directors to hear from different stakeholders.
Integrate
Effective boards rely on board reports that integrate both financial and non-financial reporting and trends.
Become a smarter and more effective leader. Fully understand the importance that a corporate governance handbook and good board reporting have on the efficient running of your board.
