Campbell Tickell was commissioned by the Cabhrú Housing Association’ to undertake a review of our Governance and Risk Management Framework. The purpose of the review was to assist Cabhrú to enhance its existing governance policies and procedures and related mechanisms in order to embed best practice throughout the organisation to ensure that Cabhrú is fully compliant with both the Charities Regulator’s Code of Governance and the new AHBRA Standards pertaining to Governance, published in December 2021.

The Campbell Tickell team worked closely with the Board and senior management during this review. Their understanding of the Approved Housing Body sector, the regulatory environment we exist within and strategic challenges facing an organisation of our size was second to none. The methodology they used during the project was easy to understand and thorough.

The final report and recommendations within the report was clear to understand and achievable. They produced revised documentation, in particular a new Strategic Management Framework that will support the organisation in ensuring that we are meeting best practice in Governance and meeting the compliance requirements of our stakeholders. The review concluded with a well facilitated Away Day for the Board which was informative and well delivered.

Since the initial engagement on the review of our Governance, following competitive tendering processes, they have been commissioned to carryout a review of our Financial Controls and the Development of our Strategic Plan
