Governance Features
Govern with Confidence
and Full Transparency
G.1Executive Overview
Unified Governance Executive Dashboard
Get the full governance picture in a single, executive-ready view. StarfetchX's governance dashboard consolidates your most critical indicators — overall governance score, board independence ratio, critical risk count, and CSRD policy readiness — into one clear summary. A CSRD Governance Radar visualizes your maturity across six dimensions including Risk Oversight, Compliance, Policy Coverage, Board Structure, and Controls, while a governance trend line tracks progress over time. Risk severity distribution and board diversity charts complete the picture, giving leadership the insight they need to act with confidence and demonstrate accountability to auditors and regulators alike.
G.2Anti-Corruption
Anti-Corruption & Bribery Declaration Management
Proactively manage your organisation's anti-corruption obligations with a structured declaration and monitoring system. Every gift, hospitality event, or business entertainment instance — from employee to counterparty — is logged with full detail: date, department, entity, description, monetary value, and risk level. Automated risk flags (Low, Medium, High) and a pending approvals workflow ensure that no declaration falls through the cracks, while compliance officers can track year-to-date declaration counts and high-risk flags at a glance. This end-to-end audit trail supports CSRD, ISO 37001, and local anti-bribery regulatory requirements with minimal administrative burden.
G.3Risk Management
Whistleblowing & Governance Risk Incident Tracker
Surface, categorise, and resolve governance risks before they escalate with an interactive risk management board. Each incident — whether Operational, Reputational, Social, Regulatory, or Compliance in nature — is captured as a structured risk card that records its title, description, impact rating, probability score, assigned owner, and current resolution status (Open, Mitigated, or Closed). The visual kanban layout gives risk committees an immediate overview of exposure across the entire organisation, from Cyber Governance Gaps and GDPR Data Privacy Breaches to Board Diversity misses and Third-Party Due Diligence failures. With a built-in incident reporting flow, employees can raise concerns confidentially, reinforcing your whistleblowing culture and meeting the governance disclosure expectations of CSRD and GRI Standards.
G.4Board Governance
Board Intelligence & Skills Gap Analysis
Build a stronger, more effective board with data-driven intelligence on composition, competency, and independence. The Board Intelligence module provides a full director directory — capturing each member's name, role, committee assignment, independence classification (Independent or Exec/Connected), and tagged skill sets spanning Legal, HR, Finance, ESG, Cybersecurity, Risk, Strategy, and Operations. A companion skills gap analysis chart visually quantifies the depth of coverage across every competency area, making it straightforward to identify where the board is well-resourced and where new appointments are needed. This feature supports robust corporate governance reporting and helps boards demonstrate the diversity of expertise required under CSRD and national governance codes.
G.5Political Transparency
Lobbying & Political Influence Transparency Reporting
Meet growing CSRD and stakeholder expectations around political transparency with a dedicated lobbying and contributions management module. Track total year-to-date political contributions, lobbying expenses, and active trade association memberships — all with a live compliance status indicator to confirm you remain within regulatory thresholds. A monthly financial contributions chart reveals spending patterns across the year, while a structured Lobbying Narrative section allows your external affairs team to articulate the organisation's focus areas, climate alignment commitments, and top beneficiaries in plain language. This combination of quantitative data and qualitative disclosure gives investors, regulators, and civil society the full picture they increasingly demand.
G.6Supplier Compliance
Supplier Payment Practices & Compliance Dashboard
Gain complete visibility into the health of your supplier payment ecosystem with a comprehensive supplier management hub. The Payment Practices dashboard surfaces high-level metrics across your entire supplier network — total supplier count, active payments, open legal cases, and an overall compliance score — while a payment status distribution chart breaks down the proportion of on-time, late, and disputed invoices at a glance. Compliance performance is further segmented by supplier category (Large, SME, Strategic), enabling procurement and finance teams to identify systemic issues and hold specific supplier tiers accountable. This consolidated view supports fair payment reporting obligations and reduces the reputational and regulatory risk of poor supplier relationship management.
G.7Invoice Tracking
Supplier Invoice & Payment Entry Tracking
Eliminate payment blind spots with a granular invoice-level tracking system that records every supplier transaction from issuance to settlement. Each payment entry captures the supplier name, invoice reference, invoice amount, invoice date, actual payment date, and the number of days late — automatically flagging entries as On Time, Late, or Disputed so finance teams can act immediately. The sortable, searchable table makes it effortless to identify chronic late payers, dispute patterns, or compliance breaches across dozens of suppliers simultaneously. By maintaining a complete and auditable payment history, organisations can demonstrate adherence to prompt payment codes and fair supplier treatment standards as part of their broader governance and CSRD reporting commitments.
G.8Legal Risk
Supplier Legal Proceedings & Dispute Management
Stay ahead of supplier-related legal exposure with a centralised legal proceedings tracker that logs every active and resolved dispute in one place. Each case is recorded with a unique reference number, the supplier and invoice involved, the date proceedings were initiated, the monetary amount at stake, current legal status (Notice of Action, Under Review, In Court, or Resolved), and the assigned legal counsel. Summary KPI cards give legal and compliance teams an instant snapshot of how many cases are pending review, actively in court, or successfully closed — enabling accurate provisioning, board reporting, and regulatory disclosure. By integrating legal risk directly into your governance framework, StarfetchX ensures that no supplier dispute goes untracked or unreported.
