Constitution Review
Are our foundations solid?
A clause by clause review of your governing document against a 110 point checklist built from the Corporations Act, state Acts, ACNC standards and templates, and ATO requirements. Most constitutions we see predate virtual meetings, current fundraising law and the board's own renewal intentions.
What you get
A register your lawyer will thank you for.
- A findings register that starts with what your constitution already does well
- Every gap rated Critical, Major or Improvement, with plain English recommendations
- Model clauses for the fixes, ready for your lawyer to settle
- A 'who regulates what' map for your board: ACNC, ASIC, state regulators and the ATO on one page
- A sequencing plan: critical items to the first general meeting, the rest bundled into one clean modernisation vote
How it works
Three weeks from document to findings session.
- The boundary: we are governance consultants, not lawyers. Final drafting is settled with your lawyer or one of our partner firms, and our review makes their time dramatically cheaper.
- The inputs: your current constitution and core governing documents. That is all we need to begin.
- The outcome: a board that knows exactly what to fix, in what order, and why.
Modernise once, cleanly.
Most boards fix their constitution piecemeal over years. A sequenced review lets you take one clean modernisation vote instead.
