Governance Frameworks and Policies

Governance that fits your company

Good governance isn't a stack of policies nobody reads. It's a framework that matches your size, your risks and your stage of growth, and that your board actually uses.

Horizon Governance designs, reviews and refreshes governance frameworks for listed and unlisted companies.

Corporate governance statements

Listed entities report each year against the ASX Corporate Governance Council's Principles and Recommendations, on an “if not, why not” basis. We prepare your corporate governance statement and Appendix 4G, and help you explain your choices clearly.

Charters and policies

We draft and review:

• board and committee charters

• codes of conduct and ethical standards

• securities trading policies

• whistleblower policies

• continuous disclosure policies

• diversity and corporate social responsibility policies

• delegations of authority

Risk management

We help boards set up practical risk frameworks: a risk appetite statement, a risk register and regular reporting to the audit and risk committee.

Governance reviews

Preparing to list, bringing on investors or responding to a governance failure? We review your current framework against best practice and give you a prioritised plan.
