01 · Governance

Governance, built from the Irish frameworks.

The frameworks that apply to you, the risks and controls they call for, and one report from the evidence.

The engine, as a journey

Frameworks in. A report out.

A framework sets requirements, the requirements call for controls, and the report shows the evidence for each.

The governance bench — frameworks, risks and controls, registers and evidence

The governance bench as our demonstration organisation runs it.

Mapped to you

Only the frameworks that apply to your organisation: its type, who it works with, whether it has staff.

Evidence, verified

A requirement is met when the artefact is on file: a constitution, a safeguarding statement, a policy.

A report for every audience

Regulator, board, funder or risk committee, each from the same vault.

For organisations on the way to charity status

The governance practice that charity status requires

An application to the Charities Register needs a governance practice behind it: a constitution, board records, core policies and a conflict-of-interest register. Each is held here, organised against the Regulator's Governance Code.

One vault

Every requirement points at evidence.

Each artefact sits in a vault your organisation owns.

Common questions

How do you know which frameworks apply to us?

From a short set of questions: organisation type, who you work with, whether you employ staff. The answers set which frameworks apply: the Charities Governance Code, GDPR, Children First, the Companies Act and Revenue's CHY relief.
