The Challenge
A business is preparing for a significant step change — a regulatory licence, an institutional partnership, an audit, or external investment. It becomes clear that the organisation's governance and risk management practices are informal, undocumented, and unlikely to withstand scrutiny. Without a credible framework, the opportunity is at risk. But building one from scratch without experienced guidance typically produces documentation that looks complete but does not actually change how the business operates.
Our Approach
1.Governance diagnostic — assess the current state of the board structure, management committees, decision-making authorities, and reporting lines against best practice and the specific requirements of the target audience.
2.Risk framework design — design an enterprise risk management framework covering risk identification, assessment, ownership, mitigation, and reporting.
3.Policy development — develop or upgrade the core governance policies: risk appetite statement, delegation of authority, conflict of interest, whistleblowing, and data governance.
4.Committee and reporting structure — design the governance committee structure, terms of reference, and management reporting pack.
5.Implementation support — work with management to embed the framework in daily operations, not just on paper.
6.Readiness review — conduct a pre-submission or pre-audit readiness review to identify and close remaining gaps.
