Frequently asked questions

We are an owner-managed company. Do we really need governance?

Yes, proportionately. Clear roles, a delegation of authority matrix, a few short policies and structured oversight make a business easier to run, finance and eventually hand over.

What does the governance health check assess?

Board and committee structure, delegation of authority and decision rights, the policy framework, oversight of performance, risk and compliance, and the quality of board reporting.

How long does a governance health check take?

Usually two to four weeks, including document review, interviews and a report with a maturity rating and practical recommendations sized to your organisation.
