Corporate Governance Services
Corporate governance consulting aligns board structure, oversight, and controls with strategy and risk. Our corporate governance services help boards and executives set clear roles, improve disclosure, and raise performance with measurable outcomes.
What Is Corporate Governance Consulting?
Independent advice to design and operate effective boards. Our corporate governance consultants support charters, committee scopes, risk and audit interfaces, disclosure quality, and director development so oversight drives strategy, capital access, and accountability.
Why It Matters and How It Works
Strong governance improves efficiency, mitigates risk, and improves access to capital (IFC). Boards face shifting expectations across sustainability, cyber, and AI; high quality practices are mapped across 49 jurisdictions in the OECD Factbook (OECD). We build a practical roadmap, align roles, and run a cadence that makes oversight visible and effective.

FAQs
What is the first governance move if the board feels reactive?
Reset the annual calendar, clarify decision rights, and redesign board packs to focus on strategy, risk, and capital. Then align committees and close actions every meeting.
How do you measure board effectiveness?
Use a simple scorecard: time on strategy, clarity of actions, on-time pre-reads, KPI quality, and closed items. Pair this with annual evaluations and peer feedback.
Can you help with cyber and AI oversight?
Yes. We define the board’s role, reporting cadence, and escalation rules, and link to management playbooks for testing, controls, and disclosure.
