Effective Governance is a critical component of the management of Charities, Community & Voluntary Organisations, and Social Enterprises. Third sector organisations can have difficulty attracting new board members and ensuring strategic thinking takes place at Board meetings. The Companies Act, Charities Act 2009, Employment Law, Heath & Safety Legislation and Accounting Standards all form part of the complex corporate Governance environment. Community Childcare organisations have the additional burden of meeting Pobal/OMCYA requirements and administration demands.
