Governance review
Board composition, committees, agendas, materials and decision-making compared with what the company needs.
Board governance, risk & controls
Give the board the right information and the business the right controls.
Board structure, agendas and reporting that help directors make good decisions, an enterprise risk process that names the risks that matter, and internal controls proportionate to the size of the business, without burying it in bureaucracy.
WHEN COMPANIES CALL US
You may need this if…
- Board meetings are long presentations with few decisions.
- Directors get information late or in too much detail.
- Nobody owns the list of risks that could seriously hurt the business.
- Approvals and controls are informal and depend on a few people.
- Lenders, investors or a buyer will soon scrutinize governance.
