Governance & Assurance

Assurance Health Check

A specialized diagnostic of your assurance landscape — tracing control weaknesses to the governance conditions that propagate them.

What it reveals

The qualitative and quantitative relationship between governance, controls, and assurance.

GovernanceSETS TONEAssuranceVALIDATESControlsEXECUTES

A continuous, interdependent cycle — not a linear checklist.

Scope

What we examine

01

Governance Structure

How authority and accountability are defined, delegated, and enforced across the organization.

02

Control Environment

The design and operating effectiveness of key controls — financial, operational, and compliance.

03

Assurance Coverage

Mapping existing assurance activities to your risk universe to surface gaps, overlaps, and unexamined areas.

04

Risk Appetite Alignment

Whether stated risk appetite is reflected in how the organization actually operates and makes decisions.

05

Reporting & Escalation

How risk and control information flows to leadership and the board — and whether it arrives in time to act.
