Governance & Capability Improvement
The level of scrutiny that is now applied to Directors on Boards has heightened due to a spate of recent corporate failures and related media scandals. Directors (including voluntary Directors) are responsible to ensure that appropriate and effective governance is applied.
If you want to improve your organisation's governance practices and capability, now is the time to consider if this grant can assist you to implement these measures so that your organisation can be well positioned to respond to any future crisis.
