Colin Atkinson, SportNI, and Richard Honeyford, NISF, explained how the Code of Good Governance can be used to help committees of sports organisations achieve a greater understanding of what is expected of them in their governance role. There was also a demonstration on how the revised Governance Health Check and DIYcommitteeguide can be used to help implement better governance practice in their organisations.
Ann Breslin, Policy Development Mnager from the Charity Commission for Northern Ireland presented recent changes to the annual monitoring return and online registration application as well as giving an overview of where it is at present with regard to its powers and decisions which staff are permitted to make.
