In these challenging times, at C.Co we are working hard to address your biggest work concerns, such as looking at the importance to local authorities of establishing a good governance framework. Good governance is a critical success factor when it comes effective decision making, as well as risk and performance management.
Good governance arrangements allow for clarity, ownership and accountability for budgeting and spending. Lack of good governance leads to confusion, poor risk management, conflicts of interest, deteriorating relationships, under-performance, poor value-for-money, reputational damage and compliance issues. There is no substitute for having good governance, combined with sound financial, performance and risk management mechanisms.
