Scope of Practice

Corporate Governance is a set of principles, systems, processes and policies set in place to protect and manage organisational resources. Boards accept, adopt and support governance policies and processes to ensure that organisational goals are met. The policies and processes act as a performance meter to measure the Boards performance and identify areas where the Board is responsible and accountable for their actions / decisions. Corporate Governance also incorporates ‘best practise’ principles which are compliant and conformant with current industry standards.
