Monday, 11 July 2022 / 16:30 – 18:00
A Mazars event in collaboration with East London Business Alliance.
There has been much focus on challenges in the charity sector in recent years highlighting the need for charity boards to be active in checking the effectiveness of their governance. In light of the challenges and the disruption caused from Covid-19 and cos of living, strong leadership and effective governance are more important now than ever before.
Using the Charity Governance Code for Smaller Charities, this roundtable for trustees and members of senior management will look at practical steps charity boards can take to enhance their effectiveness and thereby the positive impact they are able to create for their beneficiaries.
The roundtable will consider the seven principles of the code:
1. Organisational purpose
2. Leadership
3. Integrity
4. Decision-making, risk and control
5. Board effectiveness
6. Diversity
7. Openness and accountability
In considering how best to apply the principles, the roundtable will focus on key outcomes and recommended practice, as covered in the code. There will also be discussion of frequently experienced challenges and how to develop an action plan for your board and identifying the changes that will make the greatest contribution to enhanced board effectiveness.
Anthony Carey, a partner at Mazars and Head of Board Practice, as well as a charity trustee, will chair the roundtable and discuss the principles outlined above with particular reference to board effectiveness
The event is very much intended to be an interactive roundtable providing opportunities for participants to share their experiences and thoughts both on challenges encountered and examples of good practice.
Places will be allocated on a first-come-first-serve basis.
