What it covers
Everything the board
works on.
More than meeting software. Board.Africa brings together the three things an African board has to get right: security, directors and compliance.
The four parts
Meetings, directors, compliance and training.
Meetings and papers
Board portal
Meetings from notice to signed minutes, in one place. Access to every paper is checked by the database for each person and role, and files are encrypted in transit and at rest.
- Private, encrypted board papers
- Annotations on board papers
- Agenda builder and minutes workflow
Finding directors
Director search
A pool of board candidates from across Africa. Optional AI matching suggests candidates for a position from their expertise and experience.
- Profiles with qualifications and experience
- Shortlists for a position
- Candidates across African markets
Regulations and deadlines
Compliance
A library of regulations across African markets, kept by our team, with checklists, filing deadlines and a full audit trail of what the board did.
- Regulations by market
- Checklists and deadline reminders
- One audit trail
Director training
Governance Academy
Training for African directors, from board readiness to sector-specific courses, for boards moving their work from paper to screen.
- Board-readiness courses
- Sector-specific modules
- Certificates of completion
One record
Built to work together.
The four parts share one record, so work done in one is there when you need it in another.
Compliance sits beside the meetings
Filing deadlines and checklists are kept in the same place as the board’s meetings and resolutions.
Training shows on the profile
Certificates from the Academy can be added to a director’s profile in director search.
The portal keeps the audit trail
What happens in the portal is written to an append-only audit trail as it happens.
