Governing with integrity: John Ryan on public sector challenges
The former Auditor-General says boards are accountable not only for performance but for maintaining the public’s trust.
The Taskforce’s report recommends a number of significant changes to the New Zealand schooling system, including in relation to school boards.
Many IoD members are (or have been) trustees on school boards and we conducted a survey of our members to seek their feedback on how the current governance model is working and the recommended changes. Their feedback helps inform our submission which highlights concerns with the report and governance-related recommendations.
We have suggested measures the Government should consider in improving boards and addressing issues and challenges.
