Effective governance rarely fails because of intent.

It fails when oversight lacks clarity.

Why this matters for Boards

Boards are accountable for governance outcomes, but often lack a clear, structured way to understand where oversight is strong and where uncertainty remains.


Board Assured provides an independent governance support framework designed specifically for boards. It focuses on oversight, assurance, and accountability — not operations, compliance certification, or management performance.


The intent is to support informed board discussion, strengthen judgement, and identify proportionate next steps.


Good governance is not about doing more.
It is about understanding what already exists — and whether it is enough.

The Governance Health Check

At the centre of Board Assured is the Governance Health Check — a short, confidential assessment designed to support board-level reflection and discussion.

Understand Governance Context

Short, focused questions aligned to board responsibilities help directors reflect on governance structures, oversight arrangements, and accountability expectations.


Clarifies the environment in which the board is operating.

Assess Governance Confidence

Boards identify where confidence is well placed, where gaps or uncertainty exist, and where assurance may not fully support judgement.

Identify Next Steps

Boards receive practical guidance to support informed discussion and decision-making — without prescriptions, ratings, or generic benchmarks.

Different by design

Independent by design

Board Assured is not an audit, review, or regulatory assessment.


It provides independent governance support to strengthen oversight without duplicating existing assurance functions.


Board-focused, not operational

It supports board-level discussion and decision-making without replacing management, auditors, or advisers.


Boards retain ownership of judgement — with clearer context.


Structured, proportionate, practical

The approach provides a consistent way for boards to understand where confidence is well placed, where uncertainty remains, and where attention is needed.


Without adding unnecessary process.



It provides a common reference point for governance conversations — internally, and where appropriate, with stakeholders.


Governance confidence does not come from more reporting.
It comes from understanding what matters — and why.

Good governance is strengthened by clearer judgement, not more process.
