External Governance Audit Package – for MATs and SATs
Our External Governance Audit Package is aimed to help your Board to understand where their strengths and weaknesses lie. With our tailored recommended actions, your board can build on what it does well and make necessary changes to other areas to improve best practice.
Our External Governance Audit Package can be particularly helpful in supporting with future recruitment and training, as well as ensuring that your Trust complies with its legal obligations in respect of governance.

Reviewing minutes of meetings and supporting documents to understand how effective meetings are
Reviewing induction processes
Reviewing training, including safeguarding training
Reviewing the board’s approach to equality, diversity and inclusivity
Reviewing the board’s management of strategy and risk
