Public Sector Governance – Australia via CCH Online

This new add-on product of CCH online is now available via QUT Library Catalogue or Library Database entry.

“This manual is about the way in which public sector organisations are governed. It is not about the governance of the nation, ie how governments and ministers should conduct themselves. Nor is it about the relationships between governments and the people that arise through the electoral process. This manual provides guidance for the public sector on what is known as “corporate governance”. “
