Governance Reviews
Our governance reviews assess whether key policies, processes, procedures, and controls are in place and effective.
We conduct independent governance reviews and governance health checks in line with ISO 37000 (Governance of Organizations) which will also consider your organization’s specific regulatory environment. We facilitate separate financial governance health checks where necessary with our partner chartered accountants. Our reviews are designed to:
- Identify governance gaps.
- Integrate governance risk registers into strategic planning.
- Provide prospective company directors with due diligence before appointment and accelerate induction afterward.
- Track governance maturity progress as part of routine oversight or periodic evaluations.
