Governance review service

By Denise McCann from NICVA

Published on 23 May 2007


NICVA has developed a governance review mechanism to help organisations in the voluntary and community sector to ensure that they are well governed. Each governance review will include an in depth assessment of the governance of your organisation, the preparation of a report, training and one to one advice and evaluation.

The review will consider areas such as:

  • policies and procedures of the management committee
  • understanding of and compliance with governing documents and legislation
  • the procedures required for staff appointments and management of key staff
  • basic financial procedures, and
  • the status of your strategic and operational planning

Online reviews

Take the good governance test to get a sense of how well your organisation is governed.

Assessment criteria

The governance review team will work with small to medium sized voluntary and community groups (defined as those with an income of less than £500,000) which are members of NICVA and work in disadvantaged areas.

Following receipt of completed applications NICVA will decide which organisations to review. Our decision will depend on the demand for the service.
