Riverview Review 2023 - Flipbook - Page 11
GOVERNANCE &
RISK COMMITTEE
The purpose of the Committee
is to assist the Board with its
responsibilities by providing
oversight of Riverview’s governance
infrastructure, board performance,
board training and skills assessment,
policies, procedures and risk
management functions.
OUR FOCUS IN 2023
During 2023, the Committee
comprised Mal Cooke, Tania Watson,
Graeme Cross, Greg Entwistle and
Lynda Burnett (Chair). The Committee
meets 4 times per year.
The Committee continued to look at a
range of governance areas and review
topics:
FUTURE PRIORITIES
• Risk and Governance Framework.
• Annual review of Insurance
Programs.
• Review Delegations of Authority.
• Review of various policies as the
review date became due.
• Strategic Partnerships.
• Community Relationships.
The Risk and Governance Framework
was approved by the Board during
the year. This Framework and its
associated policies and procedures
underpins all of the church’s
operations. The Framework will
now continue to be reviewed and
improved on an ongoing basis.
Our Strategic Partnerships and
Community Relationships were
reviewed and documented with
Riverview staff identified to
monitor and continue these where
appropriate.
During 2024, the Committee is
planning to:
• Continue to improve and review the
Risk and Governance Framework.
• Review Policies and training
requirements under a specific
review schedule.
• Organise an external board review.
• Review new policies where
required.
• Address other areas of risk and
governance as directed by the
Board from time to time.
