Services / Risk and Governance
We examine how your Governing Body exercises oversight, how risks are escalated and whether key judgements are supported by evidence. Our work includes Governance Reviews and Annual Assurance Statement reviews.

What We Review
We examine the route from operational risk to Governing Body oversight: who owns the issue, when it is escalated, what information reaches decision-makers and how action is monitored.
Specialist Governance Work
For Scottish RSLs, we examine the evidence underpinning the Annual Assurance Statement: how it is gathered, assessed and presented to the Governing Body. We identify gaps, test the basis for judgements and consider whether exceptions are visible in reporting.
An assessment of the evidence base and the areas requiring further work before the Governing Body reaches its own conclusion.
We review roles, delegated authority, committee arrangements and the quality of reporting and challenge. Document review and discussions with relevant people help us assess how the governance framework operates in practice.
Findings on accountability and oversight, with prioritised recommendations suited to the organisation.
How We Work
Review terms of reference, delegations and risk ownership to establish who is accountable.
Consider papers, minutes and discussions to assess challenge, escalation and follow-through.
Identify changes to responsibilities, reporting or monitoring that would strengthen governance.
