Abstract

This article focuses on only one subset of the Definition, which as with the other aspects of the Definition has been carefully crafted and drafted. Omitting any part of the Definition significantly alters its meaning and effect. It is suggested that the Definition, in its entirety, could therefore be a useful framework through which a co-operative could audit and report to members on its activity at a high level, with reporting on the Values and Principles providing further detail.
