Succurro Corporate Services is a specialist consultancy service that assists private and not-for-profit organisations to achieve their objectives through the implementation of good corporate governance. We work with organisations in developing effective boards, producing meaningful strategic plans, managing enterprise risk, driving organisational change, and producing informative reporting.
Succurro offers a value based approach to working with organisations that is focused on the outcomes, not on the process or documentation. We take the view that we are engaged by clients to solve problems and not just to undertake discrete tasks. Succurro's objective with any engagement is to ensure that we deliver value to the client. We consider engagements as partnerships between our clients and ourselves, and we actively work with our clients to achieve their desired outcomes. |

 The Good Governance Program is a NSW state wide learning and development program aimed at voluntary board members of small to medium not-for-profit boards and management committees of organisations that provide services funded by NSW Ageing Disability and Home Care (ADHC) to develop and embed good governance to build the systems's capacity and accountability. The program aims to coordinate the development of a learning and development strategy to support the implementation of ADHC's "Its Your Business" governance resource manual. The program and manual are one of several capacity building initiatives reflecting the Department’s ongoing commitment to developing a sustainable support system for people with a disability, older people and their carers.

Succurro does quite a bit of work with developing strategic plans for not-for-profit (NFP) organisations. One of the first questions we ask when starting with a new NFP is "why does this organisation exist?" The usual answer we get back from management is that it serves some essential social need. Fair enough, but is that the real reason why an organisation exists? And if the social needs addressed by each organisation are so essential, then why do so many NFPs struggle to survive or fail all together?

Regulators, courts and investors frequently extol the virtues of 'good corporate governance' in organisations but often fail to define exactly what that means.

The 'Developing Your Board Project', conducted by the Australian Centre For Philanthropy and Nonprofit Studies (CPNS) at Queensland University of Technology, is developing both qualitative and quantitative evaluation tools for use in evaluating and benchmarking performance of nonprofit boards. These instruments are being framed for the Australian context and will be made available free of charge to nonprofit organisations. Nonprofit boards / management committees will be able to use them to assess and re-assess their performance over time and benchmark against similar nonprofit boards.
