Governing documents

Keep governing documents current, controlled, and traceable.

Replace an undifferentiated document folder with a clear inventory of what exists, which version is current, who can see it, and when it needs review.

Controlled records

More than a folder of PDFs.

BoardKite adds the structure a board needs around important governing documents without pretending to replace legal advice.

Authoritative inventory

See what exists, what is missing, and the current state of each governing document.

Version history

Keep the current version clear while preserving superseded versions and their change history.

Review cadence

Assign an owner and track documents that are due or overdue for review.

Approval evidence

Connect an approval to the relevant board decision or a controlled, recorded override.

Audience controls

Share with all members, the board, or the board plus selected people.

Requirements checklist

Add recommended requirements for an exact country and company-form match, then track whether each is met.

One clear lifecycle

From inventory to the next review.

  1. 01

    Build the inventory

    Add each governed record with its owner, audience, and first version.

  2. 02

    Review a proposed version

    Keep drafts separate from the version members rely on today.

  3. 03

    Record approval

    Link the decision or use the controlled override path where appropriate.

  4. 04

    Keep it current

    Make the approved version current and bring it back for review when due.

Included with BoardKite

Start with a governed record, not another shared folder.
