Governance

Working with our governance experts we can help your Board to build its capabilities based on sound policies and expert practice. IFC consultants have years of experience as Board members and trustees of both large and small charities.

We help Boards in developing trustee roles and trustee understanding of those roles, where the boundaries are and what constitutes best practice.

Often building from a series of confidential interviews carried out with great sensitivity, we frame and agree the core problems and draft and agree solutions that suit those involved; though thios process can also lead to trustees understanding that they need to let go some preconceived ideas that are no longer relevant as the organisation changes.

We can also help organisation to improve the often tricky interface between boards and directors or directors and senior managers.

One of our specialities is the interface between programme policies and fundraising or between fundraising and communications. We can help organisations to maintain efficiency in each department by assisting in the development of professional working practices and agreed policies.
