Governance Institute of Australia has prepared governance guidance for not-for-profit organisations.

 

In all instances, your organisation should be complying with the applicable legislation; however, there are sometimes grey areas not specifically covered by legislation, and practices in these areas can vary from minimal to best practice.

 

It is important to remember these Good Governance Guides are only a guide and not a substitute for seeking professional advice (including legal advice). Many of these Guides provide assistance on how you can develop the key policies and processes required under the ASX Corporate Governance Council’s Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations.
