Overview
This occupation is found in small, medium, and large organisations within the
public, private or third sectors. Governance officers are found in all sectors such as
government, retail, food and drink, education, charities, and professional services and
work in varied environments including in an office or remotely.
The broad purpose of the occupation is to provide and manage an organisation’s
governance and governance operations-related services. These include reviewing
and maintaining legal and compliance documents; filing returns with regulators
(e.g., Companies House); and providing advice on internal and external governance
requirements.
This is a technical and specialist role which interacts with senior levels within an
organisation to ensure compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, which may
include responses to climate change or other sustainability commitments. In addition,
they manage the meetings of the governing decision-making body (e.g., board of
directors, trustees, or governors; committees of the governing decision-making body),
and the information flow to and from them.
The role, and the governance function in general, is concerned with structure and
processes for decision making, accountability, control, and behaviour at the top of
an organisation. Governance influences how an organisation’s objectives are set and
achieved, how risk is managed and how performance is optimised. Governance is a
system and process, not a single activity and successful implementation of a good
governance strategy therefore requires a systematic approach that incorporates
strategic planning, risk management and performance management.
