Written and supported by Blake Lapthorn as part of our Essential Guides collection, this guide aims to help Chief Executives to decide what forms of accountability are most important to their organisations, and to provide a starter kit to implement an appropriate accountability framework.
Accountability is high on the agenda for Chief Executives and trustees of voluntary organisations. Yet there is a need for clarity, as the term is used in many different ways.
This guide aims to help Chief Executives to decide what forms of accountability are most important to their organisations, and to provide a starter kit to implement an appropriate accountability framework.
Given the huge variety in the voluntary sector, each organisation will need to keep its own accountability framework under review, and cannot simply adopt the position of others, or leave its own position unchanged. The interplay between Chief Executives and trustees on accountability is one of the primary focuses of good governance.
This guide sets the context, explores the options and how to identify the most appropriate one, and provides further reading and ideas and commerce across the world when the need to improve standards and regulation was thrown into focus by the Enron collapse and bankruptcy and other business scandals. Improving corporate governance has become top of the agenda across the board.
Reform of company law and the introduction of a revised Combined Code on corporate governance are doing much to improve investor confidence.
