Board assurance: a toolkit for Independent schools

As further uncertainties and opportunities present themselves in the independent schools sector, it is vital that your governors ensure your school’s governance and risk management arrangements are sufficiently robust to cope.

As the successful and sustained achievement of your independent school’s mission and objectives is reliant on robust governance, risk management and assurance processes. RSM have produced a board assurance toolkit to help independent schools in their thinking with regards to the design and application of their board assurance arrangements and how this can be achieved.

Our toolkit includes a governors assurance arrangement preparedness assessment, which will provide a good measure of the progress being made, as well as highlighting the areas that need to be developed further within your school.
