Governance & Internal Controls
Control and governance, without the paperwork.
As a business grows, informal habits stop being enough. We document how money moves through the business, put proportionate controls in place, and give owners, boards and investors reporting they can rely on.
What’s included
What we deliver
-
Finance policies and SOPs
Written policies and step-by-step procedures for the processes that matter: purchasing, payments, payroll, close and reporting.
-
Internal controls
Approval limits, segregation of duties and reconciliations designed in proportion to the size of the business.
-
Internal audit
Independent review of how processes and controls work in practice, with clear findings and agreed actions.
-
Board and investor reporting
Consistent reporting packs for boards, investors and funders, prepared on a fixed timetable.

The financial and regulatory risks facing the business identified, with practical steps to manage them.

Frequently asked questions
Governance & Internal Controls questions
We are a small business. Do we need formal controls?
Controls should match the size of the business. We start with the few that protect you most, such as payment approvals and reconciliations, and add more only as you grow.
Can you act as our internal auditor?
Yes. We can carry out periodic internal audit reviews and report findings and actions to the owners or board.
Can you prepare our board or investor reporting?
Yes. We agree the format and timetable with you, then prepare the pack each period from your accounting and operational data.
Can this work alongside Financial Operations?
Yes. Many clients combine the two, so the same group runs the books and keeps the controls around them working.
Do you offer onsite support?
No. All services are delivered remotely under our offshore model. Tax and corporate advisory is also available in person for clients in Pakistan.
How is the work billed?
A review is usually a fixed-scope project; ongoing internal audit or reporting is usually a monthly retainer. Fees are agreed in writing first.
