Tax & Compliance
Risk Advisory
As headcount and transaction volumes grow, informal control breaks down. We design the governance and internal-control frameworks that catch problems while they're still small.
Risk advisory covers the practical middle ground between a startup's trust-based operations and a listed company's control environment: delegation-of-authority matrices, segregation of duties, fraud-risk assessment and the enterprise-risk registers boards actually use.
We assess where your current controls leak, prioritise by exposure and implement fixes with your team, then test that they hold. For regulated entities we align the framework to the regulator's expectations from day one.
What we handle
- Enterprise risk assessment and registers
- Internal-control design and testing
- Delegation-of-authority and approval matrices
- Fraud-risk assessment
- Governance frameworks for boards and family businesses
- Regulatory-readiness reviews
Frequently asked questions
When does a business need internal controls?
When the founder can no longer see every transaction, typically past 15 to 20 staff or when payments authority spreads beyond one person. Controls added at that point cost little; fraud or error discovered later costs multiples.
