Constructing an effective governance model can be difficult due to the broad scope of rules and regulations that an organisation must adhere to, which depend on an organisation’s size and nature.

Based on common governance pitfalls faced by Australia’s not-for-profit (NFP) sector, Third Sector has compiled a resource with practical advice that will help your organisation to improve its governance model and reach its highest potential.

Governance tips include how to:

• Increase role awareness
• Develop governance documents and policies
• Strategically plan
• Implement effective compliance procedures
• Introduce risk assessment strategies
• Identify areas of improvement

In addition, Third Sector‘s governance e-guide contains a practical governance checklist, which can be frequently referred to in order to ensure your NFP is on the path to success.
