Any module can benefit from the use of a third party expert in governance. That person could simply be given a copy of the report to consider and discuss with the relevant people. In some cases, you may have them run the assessment as the module administrator as well. The Governance Framework [whole of board] assessment in particular benefits from an independent perspective. That person will likely seek further information in areas where the board's self-assessment indicates a variable understanding. That may be plans, policies, constitution, board papers etc. The Governance Mark process requires a SportNZ accredited assessor.
