GOVERNANCE & STAKEHOLDERS·Part of the fractional CFO scope

Governance and stakeholders

The board is a meeting rather than a governing body: no calendar, no standing papers, decisions taken verbally and remembered differently by different people. Shareholders outside the business hear nothing between accounts.

How we run it
01 / 05

In the order we do it.

Related-party arrangements exist on trust. And the delegated authorities — who can commit the company to what — have never been written down, which nobody notices until somebody commits it to something.

01THE GOVERNANCE CALENDAR

A governance calendar with standing papers, so every meeting has the same spine and decisions are recorded where they can be found. A written schedule of delegated authority: who approves what, to what limit, and who deputizes.

02RELATED PARTIES

Related-party arrangements documented and priced on an arm’s-length basis before anyone external asks. Shareholder and family reporting on a fixed cadence for the people who own the business but do not run it, in a form they can read.

03THE COMPLIANCE CALENDAR

And the compliance calendar — filings, renewals, registrations, insurance and statutory obligations across every entity and jurisdiction — owned by one person with dates, instead of remembered by whoever remembered last year.

What changes
02 / 05

What you can do afterwards that you cannot do now.

01

Run a board meeting that produces recorded decisions.

02

Tell a shareholder what happened this quarter without assembling it from scratch.

03

Know who can commit the company, to what, before it matters.

Who holds the seat
03 / 05

Your CFO does not do this alone.
