Corporate Governance Tools
The CG Methodology includes a set of tools – matrices, checklists and others – tailored for each of these models. These tools help examine structural features based on five key elements or risks areas of CG.
CG Mainstreaming requires that the CG issues are considered in a structured manner in each investment transaction. IFC’s CG Methodology recognizes that there is no “one-size-fits-all” CG solution for our clients. We customized the CG analysis with tools that address unique challenges faced by different companies/ownership types. Click on each PDF icon to learn more.

About the Tools
Progression Matrices – These are the main tools to take a snap shot of the company’s current governance framework and identify how the company is performing in each of the five areas of governance (Commitment to Good Corporate Governance, the Board of Directors, Control Environment and Processes, Transparency and Disclosure, and Shareholders Rights) to four levels of achievement. This tool helps you and your client understand their CG, providing guidance in rating how well they are doing in the 5 CG risk areas. There is criteria:
- A quality score card based on client’s CG that is along 4 levels, from minimum (level 1) to leadership (level 4).
- A separate matrix is available for each client type.
- If your project straddles a mix of client types, you can apply multiple matrices in your analysis and your discussion with your client.
Information Request List – This list of questions forms the basis for the corporate governance analysis of an IFC client company.
Document Request List – This list of corporate governance-related documents, policies and procedures of the company is meant to be used in conjunction with Information Request List to help analyze the company’s corporate governance framework.
Independent Director Definition – This definition is often used during discussions with the client to clarify the assessment of the current Board and its future needs.
