King IV Integrated Report — Governance

Overview

Draft the governance section of an integrated report or standalone governance report aligned with King IV Principles 4 and 5.

Getting Started

Add your source materials to the project workspace, then activate the King IV Integrated Report — Governance skill. The agent will guide you through the process step by step.

Example conversation

You: Draft the governance section of our integrated report—structure, apply-and-explain, and how governance supports value creation.

Agent: I’ll use the skill reference (Principles 4 and 5) and draft a governance section that: describes the governance structure (board, committees, delegation); summarises or references the apply-and-explain disclosure for the 16 principles; and connects ethics, risk, remuneration, assurance and stakeholder relations to governance and to value creation. I’ll keep it concise and aligned with the rest of the report.

Output excerpt

Governance section excerpt

Governance structure
The board is the focal point of governance and is supported by the Audit, Risk, Remuneration, and Social and Ethics committees. Committee charters and the board charter are reviewed annually and published. The board delegates day-to-day management to the CEO within approved authority limits. Our apply-and-explain disclosure in respect of the 16 King IV principles is set out in [section / separate King IV report] and is consistent with this governance section.

Governance and value creation
Governance is directed at the four King IV outcomes: ethical culture, good performance, effective control, and legitimacy. The board oversees strategy, risk, technology and information, compliance, remuneration and stakeholder relationships so that they support the organisation’s ability to create value in the short, medium and long term. Reporting in this integrated report is intended to enable stakeholders to assess our performance and prospects (Principle 5).

Key governance areas
Ethics and the code of conduct are overseen by the board and the Social and Ethics Committee. Risk is governed by the Risk Committee and reported quarterly. Remuneration is set by the Remuneration Committee in line with the approved policy. Assurance is provided by internal audit and the external auditor; the Audit Committee oversees both. Stakeholder engagement is reported to the board and informs strategy and disclosure.
