Governance

Abstract

Organizations require their objectives set, and the determination of the means of attaining these objectives and of monitoring performance. As summarized by the UK Financial Reporting Council, corporate governance is the system by which companies are directed and controlled. This governance applies to all ongoing and once-off activities of an organization. Its application to once-off activities is termed as governance of project management (GoPM).
