Governance
Sound governance arrangements enables efficiency in the ability to meet strategic and financial targets. It reduces the risk for supervisory sanctions and negative effects on your reputation and financial position. The board and management will be better equipped to lead and govern the organization in a rapidly changing environment.
A governance framework should be designed and customized for the specific business and corporate structure and be aligned with its strategy and core values. The framework should include a structure and set of rules that outlines how the organization is managed and controlled. Keep in mind that governance is an ongoing process – not a fixed structure and set of rules.
