How It Works

GovernApp overview

GovernApp is a self-service SAAS governance platform for NFP boards that guides your organisation through a structured assessment (via easy-to-use surveys) against a governance framework you select to meet the specific use case you have.

GovernApp turns the results into a clear report that surfaces any gaps, risks or issues with the tested area of governance. From there, it generates a risk-prioritised, step-by-step action plan to close the gaps, mitigate the risks and solve the issues. It allows you to assign and track these actions over time (with reminders), and makes it as easy as possible by providing curated template policies, procedures and work practices to help you implement your improvements.

Register for free!

GovernApp is a SAAS system, so you can register online. It's free to do so and takes less than a minute.

Subscribe to a free framework!

Subscribe to our ACNC Self Evaluation Framework for free, and use it to conduct a trial assessment. This will show you comprehensively how the system works.

Add the framework that meets your use case

Subscribe to the framework that meets your use case. Subscriptions are annual, and you can conduct as many assessments as you like within the subscription period.

Invite Board members and conduct an assessment

You can add unlimited Board members to your organisation in the app. Once invited, create an assessment. This invites your Board members to respond to a survey, based on your selected framework.

Review your reports

GovernApp will process all responses and generate a detailed, drill-down assessment report that will surface gaps, risks, and issues in the area you have been assessing.

Implement your action plan

From your assessment, GovernApp also generates a risk-prioritised action plan which spells out what you need to do to address those areas of improvement, so you can focus your efforts on a where-most-needed basis.

Further, GovernApp also provides key curated assets such as policies, work practices and templates to help you implement your actions with minimal effort.

Tell the world

You can generate a PDF Certificate of Applied Governance from GovernApp that proves your commitment to good governance for funding providers and all other stakeholders.

Make governance a priority

We recommend that you review the status of your GovernApp action plan at every Board meeting or governance committee meeting. Track and report actions implemented, and see the impact benefits grow.

Commit to continuous improvement

For most use-cases we recommend conducting a survey every year. GovernApp will track and report on your year-on-year improvements, and provide anonymous benchmark comparison data for organisations similar to yours.
Our experience of GovernApp was very timely and profound. It helped our Directors face gaps in their own personal governance literacy, and equally, or more importantly, helped our Board identify areas we had little or no awareness of. We appreciated how the assessment gave us a plan to work towards.
