At the heart of the governance structure is a new independent AA1000 Standards Board. The Board is multi-stakeholder in nature and has wide geographic representation. The Board has ultimate authority for decision-making in relation to the standards including responsibility for developing strategy and work plans and standard setting procedure, approving final standards, and assisting with fundraising and outreach. The Board will not have any decision-making over financial matters. This responsibility will remain with the AccountAbility Partnership, although the Board may express opinions or recommendations in relation to financial matters.
