Typical Pain Points
As MD, CXO, VP, Board Chairman, PE Investor, Owner or Partner, you are feeling frustrated by a lack of reliable independent assurance within your company, you don't feel you are getting independent comfort on whether the critical risks to the achievement of your company's objectives are being looked at, whether appropriate responses to those risks are being executed, whether there are any icebergs round the next bend, that might end up sinking your Titanic!
​
You desperately feel the need for an experienced professional in the field of Internal Audit, Risk Management or Corporate Governance, who could give you objective advice on the risks you could take or not take in the day-to-day running and high level strategy of your business! Someone who could assure you that the "brakes" in your car (controls in your company) were working well, so that you could go ahead and drive your car fearlessly (run your company aggressively to succeed), comfortable in knowing that when needed, the brakes will be applied, and will not fail you! And consulting firms, both large and small, come with hefty price tags, which you have seen these days, do not give you real value for the fees you pay!
