CORPOCHECK is an institute of corporate governance research, creating a global and collaborative database of organizational practices, and collecting statistical data regarding the commonness of such practices – on a global basis. The data collected supports economic development and value-driven corporate governance worldwide, in both public and corporate sectors, through global benchmarking that allows organizations to close governance gaps.

The institute is operated through three levels of collaborative collection of governance data from Institute members, data processing, and data sharing with Institute members:

The first level is comprised of multiple workgroups, local or international, each including corporate governance practitioners. Workgroups meetings hold discussions over industry practices or local compliance requirements, and resolution of recommended practices to be included in global Institute surveys.

The second level is comprised of a group of volunteering corporate governance practitioners, who supervise and edit the content generated by Institute members and workgroups.

The third level includes practices-oriented checklists and surveys, as recommended by Institute workgroups and reviewed by volunteering editors, collecting statistical data regarding the commonness of such practices. Such checklists and surveys are used by Institute members to initiate discussions over value-generating governance at their organizations, and improvement opportunities based on the benchmark data collected. Some of the checklists and surveys are available to non-members.
