The Directors’ Toolkit is designed primarily for directors of listed public companies and major private entities, but is also highly relevant to those with governance responsibilities for small private companies, not-for-profits, incorporated associations, government departments, and statutory bodies.

Four key chapters

  • The role of boards and directors
  • Governance accountability
  • Governance leadership
  • Governance oversight

What's new in 2020

In this latest edition, we have updated sections considering:
  • developments in corporate governance following the Royal Commission into misconduct in the banking, superannuation and financial services industry
  • the 4th edition of the ASX Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations, and
  • increased focus on areas such as boardroom diversity, data privacy and corporate sustainability.
