At Ziyasiza we understand that corporate governance goes beyond compliance. The state of corporate governance speaks volumes about the organisation and its leaders. Corporate governance can be complex, but it is a critical part of effectively governing, monitoring and managing business and its associated risks. Our practical, tried, and tested approach takes the complexity out of corporate governance and adds value to Boards by helping to build greater organisational resilience.
The Ziyasiza Corporate Governance offerings span the entire organisation. Our services in this area include:
- Governance and Performance Frameworks for the entire organisation ensuring compliance with King IV™ Report on Corporate Governance for South Africa 2016
- This framework is an important foundation to good governance within an organisation. The framework guides the organisation and all its stakeholders on how people, functional activities and business process should interact and guides reporting requirements. It also considers emerging regulation where relevant.
- Board Performance
- Board performance evaluation examines the Board’s effectiveness in achieving its mandate and complying with King IV™. It is at Board level where the tone for good governance is set and encouraged for the organisation, influencing the business culture and operational performance.
- Board Member Performance (including assessments of the Chair, Deputy Chair, Executive Directors, and Independent Non-Executive Directors)
- Our independent assessment of Board member performance involves regular evaluation of individual Board member effectiveness, benchmarking the alignment of members with the organisation’s objectives, testing whether the required oversight provided is adequate, and the degree to which the member promotes transparency and ethical conduct for the good of the organisation, shareholders and all its stakeholders.
- Board Committee Performance
- Our independent assessment of Board Committee performance includes the benchmarking of the effectiveness of monitoring and oversight in areas such as audit, risk, remuneration, and organisational social, ethics and diversity.
