Chapter 1. What is Governance and Why Do You Care?
Every person is responsible for his or her own actions. We all know that if we do something wrong that we will suffer the consequences. You are involved in governance all of the time, you just may not have thought of it that way. When you follow the rules—you are being governed. When you make the rules you are governing.
Governance often comes up when we talk about groups such as corporations and societies, but governance is everywhere. It is not just applicable to groups. Throughout this book we are going to use the term organization to refer to corporations, societies, trusts, charities, partnerships, proprietorships, and estates.
Governance is defined as the process used to direct and manage the operations of an organization. You see that this organization could be a business, a non-profit organization (NPO), a charity, a club, or a family.
Organizations are not real people (with the exception of partnerships and proprietorships), so a real person must be responsible for the actions of an organization. That real person is generally called a director. It is very important to understand that only directors are responsible; not members, not shareholders, and not donors.

Governance works a little differently depending on the kind of organization we are talking about.
Table 1 illustrates who owns each type of organization and who is responsible. This is a handy way for you to think about the differences between ownership and accountability.

Businesses
If a business is not incorporated, it is known as a proprietorship or a partnership. The owners of this business are the ones who are responsible for that business's activities. There is no separation of liability when a business is not incorporated; the business is the same legal entity as the owner. Governance is still very impor...
