About the Good Governance Awards
The Good Governance Awards celebrate non-profits that demonstrate excellence in governance through their annual reports. Strong governance is not just about compliance; it is the foundation for effective operations, accountability, and public trust.
Good governance matters because it ensures:
- Compliance with legal and ethical standards.
- Operational effectiveness in achieving organisational goals.
- Trust and confidence among donors, stakeholders, and the wider public.
The awards highlight the importance of using annual reports as a tool to communicate transparency, impact, and adherence to governance principles. Chronic Pain Ireland is honoured to have been recognised as a leader in these practices.
