Governance & Authority Review
Find gaps in governing authority.
A focused review of the documents and practices that allocate authority among the board, officers, committees, executives, and management.

Test the governance framework against real decisions.
We compare the organization’s documents and delegations with the approvals leadership routinely needs to make. The review looks for gaps, conflicting roles, and uncertainty about board, officer, committee, or member authority.
You receive a prioritized assessment and recommendations for clarification or remediation. Document drafting and implementation are separately scoped, so the review produces a useful decision plan without committing you to a broader project.
What we handle
- Review governing documents, delegations, committee authority, and officer roles.
- Assess conflicts procedures, executive sessions, minutes, and resolutions.
- Trace approval pathways for recurring and material decisions.
- Address executive agreement, compensation, separation, or transition authority where relevant.
Useful documents

- Articles, bylaws, policies, and committee charters
- Delegations, position descriptions, and signature authorities
- Recent minutes and resolutions
- Executive agreements and transition materials where relevant
