There are significant legal, commercial and reputational risks for organisations in today’s highly regulated marketplace in failing to embed core governance disciplines into business practice and corporate culture at all levels – and being perceived by our stakeholders as failing to do so.

But there is also an upside and a proven correlation between investing in governance and winning regulator, customer and market confidence, directly leading to enhanced organisational performance and collateral and shareholder value. A reputation for trust and integrity is hard earned but very easily lost.

When dealing with regulation and compliance it is all too easy to explain why something can’t be done. And equally it is all too rare to find the skills, creativity and insight, either in-house or externally, to work with the business to find a way of actually doing something that may at first appear to be ‘no-go’.

Individually and collectively we have many years of ‘hands-on’ experience at very senior levels in complex, highly regulated and commercially-orientated organisations.

...”the fundamental challenge facing CEOs and Boards in today’s bottom-line driven environment is to identify the ‘hygiene level’ of compliance investment within their organisation, below which there are likely to be materially damaging consequences but above which the pay-back is limited either in terms of risk avoidance or business collateral.” Mike Bradford Director, Regulatory Strategies ‘Differentiation by data’ (Credit Today November 2009)
