Your Governance Review

News – Updated and compliant with the Charity Governance Code 2025

The fast and easy way to assess the effectiveness of your governance.

The Clue to Good Governance

Digi-Board reviews clearly show that the relationship between the Board and the Executive is crucial to achieving good governance in a charity or not-for-profit organisation.

In simple terms, the Board and the Executive need to be clear about their respective roles and who does what. Governance is at its best when both understand how to apply governance principles to lead the organisation effectively as shown in the diagram below.

What does a Digi-Board review assess?

Digi-Board’s questionnaires are based on the relevant third sector governance code. Each of these is designed to maximise participation irrespective of a participant’s experience or knowledge of the relevant governance code e.g. for charities we base questionnaires on the Charity Governance Code 2025.

A Digi-Board review evaluates this relationship and how the Trustee Board and Executive work together to fulfil the organisations’ purpose.
