Beyond Governance Information

What we do strengthens the position of business leaders and builds a more productive and efficient business by driving the right behaviours and culture in your teams through processes and procedures that align to you Company’s purpose, strategy and culture. We support business leaders to be efficient, consider risks and opportunities, improve decision making, make good use of meeting time, document meetings to safeguard the directors from unintended liability, increase collaboration between management/board, identify director skills gaps and ensure the board operates within its legal duties. We also work with companies to support the internal governance framework (how decisions are made, by who and whether these are appropriate). We support companies to understand and comply with regulation (Wates Principles/Corporate Governance Code 2024/AIM Rules/Listing Rules etc.), draft values led company policies, support remuneration decisions including share schemes, ensure good communications with stakeholders and draft the governance sections of ‘glossy’ annual reports. By receiving good governance advice companies are able to remove inefficiencies enabling them to achieve more by using their time more effectively, safeguard their reputation from the negative effects of breaches of law and fines and increase profits by focusing on income generating tasks. If businesses are seeking outside investment or an exit strategy good governance ensures that its reputation internally and externally proceeds it and when due diligence is carried out everything is in order and the business is shown in the best possible light. In summary good governance provides a good ROI both in terms of saving time and by mitigating legal/financial costs and penalties.
