Checklist

To measure whether responsibilities are being fulfilled ask:

  • Have copies of the governing document been provided to board members as part of an induction process, and is it referred to when necessary?
  • Are the provisions relating to membership applications, resignations, elections, co-options, and quorum followed?
  • Does the board fulfil its legal and compliance obligations?
  • Are the chair, vice chair, board members, treasurer and company secretary all aware of their roles and responsibilities?
  • Do board committees have terms of reference and a reporting structure?
  • Does the organisation keep sufficient records to prove compliance (including good minute taking)?
  • Is the environmental status of the organisation regularly reported to the board and necessary action followed through?
