About
Governance and Compliance is published by ICSA, the Institute of Chartered Secretaries and Administrators, and is the only magazine for company secretaries and their equivalents in the not-for-profit and public sectors. Our readers also include governance professionals employed in a wide range of other roles - from managers and financial directors, to chief executives, directors and owner managers.
Our readers are often the focal point for independent advice about the conduct of business, governance and compliance. As such they have a powerful influence on a wide variety of business decisions, such as:
- the appointment of external professional services and advisers – auditors, legal and financial services, pensions, insurance, property, facilities and other business services;
- the recruitment and remuneration of directors and senior executives;
- corporate structure.
The recent Governance and Compliance readership survey (February 2014) shows that the mean budget controlled by readers is around £750,000. It also highlights the fact that readers really value Governance and Compliance. More than half of the readership has been reading it for over eight years and the majority regard it as their prime source of invaluable industry news and practical advice. Around half of our readers keep the magazine for reference, revisiting it time and time again.
