Governance & Accountability Institute

The Governance & Accountability Institute, Inc. is a knowledge center providing resources to leaders in the corporate (private), social/institutional  (not-for-profit) and public sectors to address important and emerging issues.

We provide advisory and information services including: original and third party research; global news monitoring and content coverage analysis; editorial and publishing services (in all media); third party programs (research, advice and engagement); and issues management advisory services.  The Institute team is expert in many of the “ESG” factors that are now of greater interest to shareowners, potential investors,  financial analysts, investment advisors, money managers, NGOs and issue advocates, and especially of importance to executives and boards.

These ESG factors are comprehensive and involve clusters of environmental and energy issues, a sweeping range of social issues, and traditional and emerging corporate governance issues and concerns.  (“E,” S” and ”G.”)  For investors, these factors combined with outstanding financial performance = corporate sustainability.

The Institute offers leaders and directors and trustees a significant portfolio of resources to help them detect, identify, monitor, analyze, and address critical issues and events that affect their organizations -- especially those critical issues reaching “the tipping point,” when resolution will be harder to achieve.  Very often critical events move rapidly to the crisis stage and become much more difficult for leaders and boards to manage and resolve.

The Institute creates and employs powerful technology-based tools and resources for critical issues management, crisis management preparedness and effective response and engagement, and post-event / post-crisis recovery and restoration. We are experts at third party engagement to assist in addressing and resolving critical issues, including those reaching the flash point. 

With rising public sector, consumer, media, stakeholder, and investor expectations regarding personal and institutional accountability, the resources and services of the Institute are designed to help leaders of organizations … do the right things…for the right reasons…and to be more accountable to internal and external stakeholders.

The Institute resources can support such organizational functions as:  Marketing; General Management; Board Stewardship; Legal / Litigation; Human Resources; Public Affairs; Corporate Social Responsibility; Corporate Communications; Government Relations; Financial; Investor Relations…and more.  (Typically the ESG Factors and Sustainability issues of interest to third parties will involve multiple functions in the corporate setting.)

Information on the above is found in this Web site.  For more information contact Hank Boerner, Chief Executive Officer, at 516-248-2383 ext 19 or email: hboerner@ga-institute.com.
