The board pack problem

Good governance shouldn't mean fixing spreadsheet formatting

Most boards still run on scattered PDFs, version-confusion and last-minute scrambles. Your directors' time is too valuable for that.

The old way

  • Board packs emailed as huge PDF attachments
  • "Which version is the latest?" every meeting
  • Actions lost in the minutes, never followed up
  • Resolutions, conflicts and risk tracked in spreadsheets
  • Compliance cobbled together each year
  • No record of who saw what, and when

With BoardTable

  • One secure portal for every meeting and document
  • Always the current board pack, on any device
  • Numbered actions tracked to completion, with reminders
  • Built-in registers for decisions, interests and risk
  • ACNC & ASIC reporting data ready when you need it
  • Complete audit trail of board activity
