Governance Wheel Review

Strengthen your co-operative using the Wheel of Good Governance

Good governance underpins successful co-operatives. Our Governance Wheel Review gives you the confidence that your co-operative is operating effectively – and shows you where to improve. You’ll benefit from our in-depth knowledge of the requirements of co-operative governance best practice and effective approach to ensuring compliance and transparent reporting.

What is The Wheel?

Developed by Co-operatives UK and the Co-operative Governance Expert Review Panel, the Wheel of Good Governance (The Wheel) is a practical tool that highlights the key areas of governance your co-operative should have in place to thrive. Each section of The Wheel comes together to give an overall perspective of the governance of an entire organisation, no matter what size.

How our review helps

We’ll work with you to:

• Assess where you’re strong – and where you can improve
• Identify gaps in your policies, processes or documentation
• Provide templates to help you get compliant quickly
• Give your board clear insights to support confident, effective leadership

What’s involved?

1. Scoping session – to understand your co-operative and your goals
2. Independent desk-based audit – we review your governance documents against best practice
3. Detailed report and recommendations – outlining strengths, improvements needed and gaps
4. Board presentation – we join your board meeting virtually to summarise findings and answer questions

Our approach is flexible. We can also deliver this review as an in-person workshop – just ask for details.
