Board reporting

Start with the decisions

A useful board pack is not a document archive. It should help directors and advisers understand what has changed, what needs attention and what decisions are required.

Use a consistent structure

For most growing businesses, a strong pack includes a CEO summary, financial snapshot, cash outlook, KPI dashboard, risk update, action register and decision papers.

Keep commentary sharp

Good commentary explains variance, implications and next action. It should not repeat every number already shown in the dashboard.
