About the Webinar

Strong governance is the foundation of every trusted charity and NFP. The ACNC’s six governance standards go beyond compliance; they define how an organisation is led, how decisions are made, and how accountability is maintained to donors, beneficiaries and the public. This session unpacks what these standards mean in practice and how to embed them into everyday governance to safeguard both mission and reputation. It covers:

  • Governance fundamentals including leadership and accountability through cognitively diverse boards
  • Practical tips for navigating governance including the six ACNC governance standards
  • The consequences of non-compliance with tax laws and the ACNC governance standards
  • The importance of implementing accountability measures ensuring accurate and timely reporting to stakeholders including the ATO and the ACNC
  • How to ensure Leaders including ACNC Responsible People can fulfill their duties
  • Ways to improve operational efficiency through governance frameworks which safeguard the organisation's mission and values
  • The need to conduct regular governance health checks to evaluate governance practices
