Effortless Board Management
Proficient governance is vital at every stage of an organisation’s development. During growth periods, having the option to promptly assemble and explore ideas allows for quick and clear direction.
Once an organisation is established, there should be a focus on maintaining the standard of oversight and key decision-making for the company.
Good governance starts with simplicity. By using Convene’s user-friendly platform, you can prepare, manage and lead meetings in one secure and intuitive software.
Having a board portal which allows users to access all necessary board material is highly beneficial for your company because it ensures that directors can securely access up-to-date information.
The Document Library makes it unnecessary to search for any physical documents or sort through outdated ones. With all board packs, minutes and policies digitally stored in one safe location you can drastically reduce your preparation time.
Considering the meeting preparation and other responsibilities, Convene can manage a range of tasks. Read on to see how our Board Portal can upgrade your process from start to finish.

Transparency and Accountability
Audit trails are a necessity if your company does not qualify for an exemption.
We deal with this regulation by monitoring and logging your members’ actions. This means that board directors can minimise their time submitting documents to the audit team and maximise their time assessing the company’s future.
By having an audit trail, you have evidence of your board’s processes across a range of categories. This creates a transparent environment.
But this isn’t just about making sure that your organisation is following the necessary regulations. It helps you to detect and investigate any suspicious activity and pre-empt security breaches.
