Corporate
governance is defined as "the system by which companies are directed
and
controlled" (Cadbury Committee, 1992). It is the framework by which the
various stakeholder interests are balanced. If
the confidence of your stakeholders is important to you then good
corporate governance should be of paramount importance to your Board.
This applies to any organisation which relies on investment
or
funding from any source. Anybody putting
money into an enterprise needs to know that the organisation is being managed in accordance with principles
of good governance and that its resources, including finances, are
being
protected from the risk of mismanagement. |

In
Ireland, the NSAI has published a specification for Corporate
Governance, SWiFT 3000. Matt Seaver was a member of the committee that
drafted the
specification, and is a qualified SWiFT 3000 process auditor.
We
are, therefore, well-qualified to provide assistance to any
organisation
wishing to improve its corporate governance system, or to attain
certification
to SWiFT 3000.
