The Chartered Governance Institute UK & Ireland is a division of The Chartered Governance Instititue which is incorporated and governed by Royal Charter. Royal charters are awarded to bodies that work in the public interest and which can demonstrate pre-eminence, stability and permanence in their field.
Our Royal Charter was granted in 1902 and continues to signal the vital role that we play in developing and supporting governance professionals. Members who complete their professional qualifications can style themselves as ‘chartered’ – a by-word for professional competence.
Organisation
As a chartered body, The Chartered Governance Institute is not directly subject to the laws and codes of practice relating to companies. Instead our constitution, governance and operational arrangements are set out in our royal charter and byelaws. As best practice, The Chartered Governance Institute UK & Ireland voluntarily applies the provisions of the UK Corporate Governance Code in preparing its annual report and accounts where it is reasonable to do so.
Management of the Institute is vested in the Council which comprises members elected by members living in the UK, Republic of Ireland and Associated Territories, and by members living in each of the divisional territories (or by their Divisional Committees) with Council membership being awarded on a proportionally representative basis depending on the number of members in the territory. The most recent Past President who is eligible and willing to be a member of the Council also serves in an ex-officio capacity.
The Council has designated the following territories as divisions: Australia, Canada, China (including Hong Kong), Malaysia, New Zealand, Singapore, Southern Africa and Zimbabwe. Management of CGIUKI's affairs in the divisions has been delegated to Divisional Committees. The Divisional Committee that represents The Chartered Governance Institute UK & Ireland is known as the CGIUKI Board.
The CGIUKI Board is made up of members elected by our members living in the UK, Republic of Ireland and the Associated Territories. Associated Territories are countries where members reside and are administered by the CGIUKI Board at the date of adoption of the existing byelaws. The Institute's affairs in the rest of the world, excluding The Chartered Governance Institute UK & Ireland and the other divisions, will be managed by the Council.
Charter and byelaws
Our Royal Charter was granted in 1902 and has been subject to a number of revisions over the subsequent years, the latest one being in 2019. The Institute's byelaws were revised and updated in 2023 and passed by Her Majesty's Privy Council on 14 February 2023.
CGIUKI Board
Governance of The Chartered Governance Institute UK & Ireland is managed by the CGIUKI Board and its sub-committees.
Divisions
The Chartered Governance Institute has three Council Committees and nine Divisional Committees which direct and oversee its governance.
