2019 NFP Governance Principles
A benchmark for NFP governance.
This revised edition of the Not-for-Profit Governance Principles reflects the changes in the sector since they were first released in 2013, including the heightened expectations of good NFP governance. The Principles provide a framework for NFPs to consider good governance practices, including the board’s roles and responsibilities, managing conflicts of interest, organisational culture, stakeholder engagement and risk management.
About the Principles.
The Principles provide a detailed, practical and principles-based framework to help not-for-profits to achieve good governance. The development of the Principles has been informed by detailed consultation with the not-for-profit sector.
Our Commitment

Reporting to Stakeholders
We encourage NFP boards to assess how their governance practices align with the Principles and consider reporting on this to stakeholders.
Formed by Experience
