Corporate governance involves the control and management of an organisation to achieve its objectives. It encompasses decision-making and implementation, optimisation of performance, and how the organisation is directed, reviewed and held to account.
The Australian National Audit Office recognises six main principles supporting better practice governance. These are leadership, integrity, commitment, accountability, integration and transparency. Council's governance framework details the strategies, policies, systems, processes and procedures which reinforce these principles. It ensures our objectives are being achieved efficiently and effectively, ultimately delivering community value.
