Governance

Governance you can evidence, not just describe

Apply and explain only works when the explanation rests on something real. Dimeri holds the dated decisions, papers and actions each disclosure has to stand on.

Board packs from live data

Why governance reports ring hollow

The record is scattered

Committee decisions live in minutes, actions in email, and assessments on someone's drive, so the annual report is written from recollection.

Charters age out of date

Terms of reference were approved four years ago and describe committees, delegations and quorums that no longer match how the board works.

Matters arising go nowhere

A committee asks for something, it is minuted, and the next meeting opens with the same request because nothing carried it forward.

Assurance is asserted, not shown

The governing body states it satisfied itself about controls, with nothing behind that statement anyone could point to.

Run governance the steady way with Dimeri

Disclosures backed by evidence

Each entry in the Disclosure Framework links to the decisions, papers and actions that support it, with their dates and authors.

Combined assurance the board can see

Which providers cover which significant risks, where coverage duplicates and where it is absent, generated rather than drawn by hand.

Matters arising that close

Committee requests become tracked actions with an owner and a date, carried between meetings until evidence closes them.

Charters on a review cycle

Terms of reference, delegations, composition and independence are held against review dates, so a restructure does not quietly invalidate them.

A clear path to defensible disclosure

Four steps from a governance report written in October to one assembled all year.

Book a demo

Existing charters, policies, committee structures and last year's disclosures are loaded, and each governance principle is assessed against the practices in place.

Built for clarity, designed for control

Board papers, disclosures, assurance and control effectiveness are one record seen from different angles.

Exposure against appetite

Where the organisation sits relative to the appetite the board set, rather than a list with no stated threshold.

When governance becomes a business advantage

The report writes itself

A year of dated decisions and actions means the governance report is assembled from the record rather than reconstructed in the weeks before publication.

Assurance you can stand behind

The governing body can explain how it satisfied itself about controls, because the assurance map and the test evidence both exist.

One practice, many frameworks

Social and ethics work, director declarations and risk oversight serve governance, corporate law and listing requirements at once when recorded once.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What does King IV say about governance structures, and how does Dimeri help?
King IV requires organisations to establish an appropriate governance framework that supports effective and ethical leadership. It covers board composition, committee mandates, delegation structures, and stakeholder engagement. Dimeri maps your governance architecture to each King IV principle, tracks compliance status, and generates board-ready reports showing where you align and where gaps exist.
How does Dimeri handle board and committee management?
You create committee profiles with composition requirements, quorum rules, and meeting schedules. Dimeri tracks attendance, manages agenda distribution, records resolutions and action items, and follows up on overdue actions. Each committee has its own dashboard showing effectiveness metrics, and AI flags declining quorum trends before they become a problem.
Can Dimeri manage the full policy lifecycle?
Yes. Every policy goes through a structured lifecycle โ€” draft, legal review, approval, active, and review. Dimeri manages version control, approval workflows, and automated review reminders. When a policy is due for review, the responsible owner gets notified. When regulations change, AI highlights which policies need updating and suggests specific sections to revise.
What is the three lines model, and how does Dimeri implement it?
The three lines model separates accountability into management (1st line), risk and compliance functions (2nd line), and internal audit (3rd line). Dimeri maps each governance document and control to its responsible line, identifies coverage gaps, and ensures independent assurance covers all critical governance areas. This gives the board confidence that oversight is genuinely independent.
We already track governance in spreadsheets and shared drives. Why switch?
Spreadsheets and shared drives don't track versions, approvals, or review cycles. They don't alert you when a policy expires or a committee charter is outdated. They can't tell you which governance documents have gaps or which committees have declining attendance. Dimeri replaces scattered documents with a structured register that connects policies to controls, committees to mandates, and delegations to accountability chains.
