Governance Matters has developed a set of generic governance polices that are:

• written in plain English
• practical
• easily adapted to suit the requirements of a particular organisation or industry

Each policy includes a series of 'tips' to assist in their adaptation and application.

Policies in the package include:

• Role and Functions Statement for the Board
• Position Description for a Director
• Position Description for the Chairman
• Committees of the Board
• Audit Committee Charter
• Other Committees' Charters
• Code of Conduct - Conflicts of Interest - Statements of Behaviour
• Director Election and Selection
• CEO Selection and Employment Contract
• CEO Performance Management
• Board, Chairman and Director Evaluation
• Director Continuing Education
• Succession Planning
• Board Calendar
• Board Agenda
• Director Communication with Staff
• Board Papers
• Board Minutes
• Board Diversity
• Matters Reserved for the Board

Governance Matters can adapt this generic set of policies to ensure relevance and 'fit' to a particular organisation or industry.
