Advisory & Consulting Services
With over 20 years of experience in operational risk management across various industries, I have successfully executed multiple ethics, compliance, governance and risk-management initiatives. As an advisor, I can guide you on specific projects or on a large-scale program implementation. In addition, I can join your team as a consultant to coach your employees; or separately, review progress, provide recommendations and project manage. Together, we can build solutions that align with your organization's objectives and goals, locally and globally.
Ethics
Your Ethics Program has to change with the times. Does your organization need to update its values? Strong leadership sets the "Tone at the Top." Clear and meaningful messaging can establish expectations and inspire your employees. I can help you with:
- Codes of Conduct
- Training Programs, e.g. values and health & safety
- Diversity & Inclusion Awareness
- Ethics / Whistleblower Hotline investigations and trainings
Compliance
Compliance Operations are guided by laws, rules and regulations. Do you know if all the pieces are fitting together as they should? Are there new processes that need to be developed because of regulatory changes? I can help you with:
- Policies, procedures and standards
- Risk management testing
- Internal process review
- Data trend analysis and program development
Governance
Regulated industries are familiar with time-sensitive exams, inquiries and oversight. It may take a small army to gather the data and then present your response in a clear and cohesive format. Failing an exam or misrepresenting a claim can cause headlines and detrimental reputational risk. I can help you with:
- Regulatory reviews: quality-control and stress-testing
- Document due diligence reviews and analysis, e.g. M&A target valuation engagements
- Third party review and analysis
- Editing and revising corporate governance documents, and providing recommendations
my Approach
Optimize and Streamline
Ethics, Compliance and Governance are not a "nice to have" - they are a must have. You need to review policies and procedures regularly to know what is working and what is not before something breaks. You should always consider opportunities to make processes more efficient and effective. It is important to distinguish between what is required by law, rule or regulation, and what is internal bureaucracy. As your advisor or consultant, I ask the hard questions, find the solutions and guide you on the optimal path to success.
