Build Your Board Documents

We will continue to make available through this page, typically, all the most basic Governance & Compliance templates for Boards.

The documents will, in most cases, apply equally to NFP (Not for Profit) and Commercial Boards.

If you are a Chairperson, a Non Executive Director and or a CEO working for a Board you will most certainly find these “MUST HAVE” templates useful to include in your Governance and Compliance portfolio.

You can either purchase each document individually or as a bundle. Bundles of 5 or more attract a 10% discount on the total cost.

The documents are all for sale at a fixed price of $44.00 each (GST included).

  • BYB Appointment Letter for NED or Chair – this is an extensive letter of appointment and can be edited under each heading to make it as customised as the user want is to be. It has been constructed based on years of viewing a multitude of formats, its is a hybrid of best practice. Feel free to add or subtract bullet points under each “imperative” heading.
  • A Code of Conduct is a document that sets a standard in behaviours and focus for the Board as a whole as well as for each individual Director. It will give the Board a reference point for discussion when things do go wrong and it may avoid debate and even litigation on many issues.
  • BYB Board Efficiency Survey - This is a simple self assessment tool to be used by Chair and Board members independent of each other’s thoughts and then comparing and discussing, it allows the Board to see how close they all are in their thinking and perception.
  • BYB Board Member Self-Assessment Tools – this is a more detailed Board sell assessment tool to be completed individually, with an “End of Term” review to be completed in conjunction with Chair by an exiting Independent Director.
  • BYB Board Membership Policy - this is a general template for creating a membership policy for a membership/selection committee. The same template may also be used for creating other Board policies.
  • BYB Chief Executive Role Checklist - this document will allow the user to benchmark their CEO in relation to Board expectations as an industry benchmark. It is also a useful tool to assess the CEO in a one to one scenario with the Chairman by asking them to score themselves out of 10 on each item and Chair doing same, then comparing and discussing.  
  • BYB Skills Matrix for Board Members – this is a basic tool to be used by CEO & Chair to identify perceived and actual skills on the Board. Directors should be given an opportunity to edit this in relation to themselves. This is a liquid document it is recommended you complete it in pencil so to speak.
