In the first edition of Governance for 2013 we look at how three very different organisations go about creating their perfect board.

The Chartered Institute of Management Accountants take us through their boardroom leadership model. They suggest that, whatever the size, sector or location of an organisation, all governing boards have one thing in common. Next up Gillian Guy, chief executive of Citizens Advice, comes to the rescue of a failing charity board, arguing the case for early intervention and reconnecting with what and who the charity is there for. And in our lead piece, Joy Allen, chair of Simon Community Northern Ireland, draws on her 35 years experience to explain why it's crucial to regularly review the composition and skills of board members.

Also in January's issue:

• What do you do when a CE becomes too powerful? Mike Hudson of the Compass Partnership has some ideas.
• If your staff and volunteers need to work abroad, you'll want to read World Vision UK's advice for what trustees need to be aware of.
• The thorny issue of trustee payments raises its head again - this time, why and how you might need a tailored policy for operating in Scotland.
• Who has the authority to close down a charity's trading company?
• You can't talk about what you're going to do without talking about how to get the money to do it. Our special extract from Charity Sustainability: Making Strategic Decisions is a must-read.
