Planning Analysis Reporting<br />

The team conducted the work stream <strong>review</strong> in three phases: planning, analysis, and <strong>report</strong>ing.<br />

Planning: During the planning phase, the team conducted a <strong>review</strong> of external and internal<br />

documentation to appropriately align the assessment criteria with the organization. To provide a sound<br />

base for the assessment of governance, we looked to leading guidance on public sector governance<br />

and oversight, and developed the following assessment criteria for the work stream:<br />

Assessment criteria<br />

Area of focus<br />

Oversight and<br />

responsibilities<br />

Description of criteria<br />

The extent to which the Board of Trustees has clearly defined and<br />

adequate oversight roles and responsibilities, a clear mandate to carry<br />

out specific oversight functions; and the extent to which it operates<br />

accordingly.<br />

Independence<br />

The extent to which the Board of Trustees has clearly established<br />

independence requirements for its members to manage real and<br />

perceived conflicts of interest; and the extent to which it operates<br />

accordingly.<br />

Skills and knowledge<br />

knowledge, and experience the body must collectively possess to fulfill<br />

their oversight responsibilities; and the extent to which it operates<br />
