THE IMPORTANCE OF EFFECTIVE POLICIES & PROCEDURES

Effective policies and procedures are an integral part of any governance framework. Well-written policies demonstrate that an organisation is being operated in an efficient and professional manner, and fosters consistency in decision-making and operational procedures.

Best practice policies and procedures should:

• be consistent with organisational values;
• comply with relevant legislation;
• foster uniformity and consistency in decision-making and operational procedures;
• support stability and continuity;
• maintain the direction of the organisation (even during periods of transition / change);
• provide guidelines for business planning and development;
• assist in assessing organisational performance;
• support accountability; and
• clarify functions and responsibilities.
