Membership of State Boards High standards of corporate governance in all State Agencies, whether in the commercial or non-commercial sphere, are critical to ensuring a positive contribution to the State’s overall social and economic development. Members of State Boards are appointed to act on behalf of the citizen to oversee the running of the affairs of state bodies. State bodies must serve the interests of the taxpayer, pursue value for money in their endeavours (including managing risk appropriately), and act transparently as public entities. Members of State Boards, and the relevant management team, are accountable for the proper management of the organisation. Board members should act on a fully informed basis, in good faith, with due diligence and care, and in the best interest of the State body, subject to the objectives set by Government. In that regard and in accordance with 13.2 of the Guidelines on Appointments to State Boards, “it is advisable that no member of a State Board should serve more than two full terms of appointment or should hold appointments to more than two State Boards.”

The Code of Practice for the Governance of State Bodies 2016 (the Code) provides a framework for the application of best practice in corporate governance by both commercial and non-commercial State bodies.

In order to be an effective contributor on a State Board it is recommended that members should: • • • •

bring independent and objective scrutiny to the oversight of the organisation; be prepared to be challenging when necessary while being supportive to the delivery of organisational strategy and objectives; be equipped to offer considered advice on the basis of sound judgement and experience; be prepared to make a time commitment to their work commensurate with their role.
