Aside from ensuring that the company constitution meets the requirements of stakeholders and adheres to the Companies Act 2014, board directors should also put in place the processes and procedures necessary to effectively govern the company.

For your convenience, we have developed a Board Governance Handbook that summaries the main duties and responsibilities of company directors and secretaries in addition to providing:

• Roles of Honorary Board Members
• Terms of Reference of Audit and Finance Sub-Committees
• Schedule of Matters Reserved for the Board
• Business Code of Conduct
• Board Rotation and Succession Planning
• Induction Process for New Directors
• How to set a board agenda
• How to take meeting minutes
• Templates for use at an Annual General Meeting

The 6th Edition BoardPASS Board Governance Handbook may be used as a standalone board resource or to complement the provisions contained in a company’s constitution. Click on the link to open and download a soft copy version of the Handbook. Board Governance Handbook 8th Edition
