The ethics and accountability framework a board is expected to already have in writing.
Overview
Corporate governance, code of conduct, conflict of interest, anti-bribery, whistleblowing, gifts and hospitality, delegation of authority and document control carry the governance load in most organisations. This package treats them as one connected system, aligned with the G20/OECD Principles of Corporate Governance and with ISO 37000 guidance on the governance of organisations.
The value is in what each area produces. A conflict of interest is declared on a form, assessed, entered on a register and revisited when circumstances change. A whistleblowing report has a defined route in, someone who receives it, a record of how it was handled and a point at which it is formally closed. An approval that exceeds a person's delegated authority is visible because the authority itself is written down and the route for granting it is defined. Every document carries approval blocks, a named owner and a classification, so it can go in front of a board or into a due-diligence data room. A master document register, AGS-MDR-00, indexes the set and serves as its system manual.
What this system covers
- Governance framework — structure, roles and accountabilities, aligned with ISO 37000 and the G20/OECD Principles.
- Code of conduct — the standard of behaviour expected, and how acknowledgement of it is captured.
- Conflict of interest — declaration, assessment and a maintained register.
- Anti-bribery — the prevention controls an organisation is expected to be able to demonstrate.
- Gifts and hospitality — what may be offered or accepted, and the register that records it.
- Whistleblowing — how a concern is raised, received, handled and closed.
- Delegation of authority — who may approve what, recorded rather than assumed.
- Document control — version, ownership and approval discipline applied to the governance documents themselves.
Who it's for
Boards of directors, company secretaries and governance or compliance officers: family businesses professionalising their operations, growing companies formalising a framework for the first time, and regulated entities facing a governance audit or investor due diligence. Tailor the documents to your legal entity and jurisdiction, and the board has an ethics and accountability framework it can point to, evidence and review.
