Every leadership team says it values integrity. But when an investor, bank or regulator asks to see your conflict-of-interest register, your anti-bribery controls or your whistleblowing channel, values without documents count for nothing. Governance only exists when it is written down, approved and controlled.
The due-diligence moment every company faces
Sooner or later — a funding round, a major contract, a licensing review — someone will audit your governance. Companies that scramble to write policies the week before rarely convince anyone. The G20/OECD Principles of Corporate Governance and ISO 37000 have set clear expectations for what a governed organization looks like: defined authority, managed conflicts, protected whistleblowers, controlled documents.
Eight policies that form a complete backbone
The AGS Corporate Governance Package delivers the eight-policy core every organization needs: Corporate Governance, Code of Conduct, Conflict of Interest, Anti-Bribery, Whistleblowing, Gifts & Hospitality, Delegation of Authority and Document Control. Each policy ships with its procedure, work instruction, forms pack, records retention schedule, compliance checklist, KPI sheet and risk register — plus a Master Document Register that ties the system together for board approval.
- 65 controlled documents in one package
- 8 Policies with 8 supporting Procedures and Work Instructions
- 8 Forms Packs — declarations, registers and reporting forms
- 8 Records Retention Schedules and 8 Compliance Checklists
- 8 KPI Sheets and 8 scored Risk Registers
- 1 Master Document Register & System Manual (AGS-MDR-00)
Documents your board can actually approve
Every document in the package carries a document control table, a named owner, a revision history and an approval block — the machinery that turns a Word file into a controlled corporate record. That means your board can review, approve and adopt the system formally, your compliance office can maintain it on a defined review cycle, and any auditor can trace exactly who approved what, and when. It is the difference between having policies and having governance.
Whether you are professionalising a family business or preparing for investor scrutiny, the AGS Corporate Governance Package gets you there in days, not quarters. Instant digital download, fully editable Microsoft Word files — adapt every document to your entity and jurisdiction and put real governance on paper.
