3. Governance & Compliance

Governance and compliance aim to assure an organisation reliably achieves objectives, addresses uncertainty and acts with integrity.

Governance is the combination of processes established and executed by the directors (or the board of directors) that are reflected in the organisation’s structure and how it is managed and led toward achieving goals.

Compliance refers to adhering with the mandated boundaries (laws and regulations) and voluntary boundaries (company’s policies, procedures, etc.).
