Core Governance

Governance that works, for boards and growing businesses

Core Governance conducts independent board evaluations, supports boards and committees with work plans, charters and annual reports, and helps SMMEs put practical governance in place. We also train company secretaries to run evaluations themselves.

Effective Governance is at the Core of any organisation’s existence.

A board’s effectiveness shows up everywhere: in strategy, in risk, and for public entities, in the services people rely on. For a growing business, good governance is what convinces a bank, an investor or a government buyer that the business is well run.

We help boards find out what they do well and where to improve, give them the structures and plans to work well all year, and make good governance practical for organisations of every size.
