There are many interpretations of what governance means, to simplify we think it is what not-for-profit community groups, your boards and management committees need to understand so your organisation is controlled and operates the way it should.

Good governance includes understanding:

• Legal duties
• Financial duties
• Roles in community groups
• Managing risk
• Best practice processes
• Managing people
• Marketing
• Business infrastructure
