Scope of the Standard
The Good Governance Standard for Public Services is intended for use by all organisations
and partnerships that work for the public, using public money. Most of these are public
sector organisations whose services are used directly by members of the public or who
are responsible for less visible activities, such as regulation and policy development.
However, the use of public money to provide public services is not limited to the
public sector. The public also has an interest in the governance of non-public sector
organisations that spend public money, and the Standard is designed to help them too.
