At LEEDS AND ASSOCIATES, we offer comprehensive services to strengthen corporate governance frameworks for both public and private sector entities. Our core services include governance audits, board evaluations, compliance assessments, policy reviews, risk management advisory, and director training. To further support our clients, we provide access to a specialised governance app, “Board Assist”, that addresses key inefficiencies in board operations and functionalities. This secure, user-friendly platform streamlines board meeting scheduling, document sharing, real-time collaboration, decision tracking, and compliance monitoring. It empowers boards to operate more efficiently, enhances transparency, and ensures that governance responsibilities are met with accuracy and accountability. Our expert services and innovative technology offer a holistic solution to modern governance challenges.

Corporate boards face significant operational challenges that impact their effectiveness:

• Information Overload: Board members receive hundreds of pages of documents before each meeting, making comprehensive review nearly impossible
• Fragmented Communication: Critical information is scattered across emails, messaging platforms, and document repositories
• Compliance Risks: Manual governance processes increase the risk of regulatory violations and oversight failures
• Inefficient Meetings: Research shows that 65% of board meeting time is spent on routine matters rather than strategic discussions
• Limited Insights: Boards lack data-driven insights to inform critical decisions and identify emerging risks
• Institutional Knowledge Loss: Critical context and decisions are poorly documented, especially during board member transitions

These challenges result in suboptimal governance, increased risk exposure, and missed strategic opportunities. The average public company board spends over 1,800 hours annually on governance activities, yet only 23% report high satisfaction with their effectiveness.
