Munster Rugby board announce independent governance review
The Munster Rugby board have announced that they have commissioned an Independent Governance and Organisational Review
THE Munster Rugby board have announced that they have commissioned an Independent Governance and Organisational Review.
It comes in the wake of the decision to abandon their intention to appoint Roger Randle as their new attack coach for next season.
"The purpose of the review is to assess the organisation’s governance, leadership, culture and communications structures and to provide recommendations back to the Board," a statement from the province read.
The review will be conducted by The Governance Company, an independent consultancy specialising in corporate governance, and will be led by David Duffy. An external independent chair will be appointed in the coming days.
“The Board is fully committed to ensuring that Munster Rugby upholds the highest standards of governance across the organisation. Commissioning this independent review is an important part of that commitment," said chair of the Munster Rugby Board, Ger Malone.
“We are determined to ensure that our governance and organisational arrangements support clear, robust and accountable decision-making.”
Munster Rugby CEO, Ian Flanagan, added: “It is clear that the past number of weeks have been difficult for staff, players, coaches, supporters, and everyone who cares about Munster Rugby.
“We recognise the impact that recent events and decisions have had on our stakeholders. This independent review is an important step in ensuring we can learn from past events and strengthen how we can positively operate going forward.
“We look forward to working fully with The Governance Company and independent Chair to support an effective review process. The primary and clear objective of this important exercise is the overall wellbeing of Munster Rugby.”
