About

Plain Governance is a specialist online publication examining governance issues, with particular attention to Australian organisations and regulatory practice.

It is written for directors, executives, governance professionals, and other leaders responsible for organisational direction and oversight. It is also for whoever wants to think critically about the way governance is shaped today.

Plain Governance covers current developments as well as enduring questions concerning boards and committees, organisational accountability, risk, regulation, policy, and assurance. Its focus is on understanding what an issue means for governance and developing sound ways to address it.

Many governance debates turn on terms, models and regulatory expectations whose meaning or practical consequences remain unclear. Plain Governance examines these ideas closely and makes their implications explicit.

The name reflects the approach: direct language, careful analysis, and concepts made usable.
