Board & committee structures
Board charters, terms of reference, composition, quorum and reporting lines for board, audit and risk committees.
We help firms build governance, risk and compliance frameworks that define accountability and strengthen oversight, from board and committee structures to risk management systems, compliance programmes and internal controls built into day-to-day operations.
Governance should do more than satisfy the rulebook. It should improve decision-making: clear mandates, real escalation paths and controls that people actually operate.

Regulated financial firms, virtual asset businesses, DNFBPs, family offices and growing companies preparing for licensing, investment or their first regulatory inspection.
Clear accountability, a board that challenges management and can show it in its minutes, a documented risk appetite, and controls that operate as described. Regulators increasingly test whether governance works in practice, not just on paper.
A board-approved statement of how much risk the business is willing to accept in pursuit of its objectives, with measurable limits and escalation triggers.
Not always. The right structure depends on your size, complexity and licence category. We design governance that is proportionate to your firm and meets your regulator’s expectations without unnecessary layers.
