We help you navigate the ever changing and challenging business environment
Growth Challenges
Despite innovation and disruption by startups, large companies are more likely to maintain market dominance and produce better ROE as compared to small companies.
We have worked with companies of all sizes to give tailored advice – from finding niches for small companies, to large institutions protecting market share.
Rising Compliance Costs
Uncertain global outlook since 2008 have seen more regulatory reforms, with operating costs spent on compliance increasing by over 60% for retail and corporate banks.
We provide the localized knowledge in implementing regulations, with insights into cascading impact to business operations.
Talent Shortage
Policy reforms and higher prudential expectations by regulators have contributed to a shortage of capable talents in GRC.
As former executives we have experience in managing these critical resource challenges.
Information Overload
Technology advancements bring new data, risk and opportunity for companies to analyze, as R&D and strategy decisions continues to be zero-sum.
We have the experience in navigating these waters – taking a structured approach to decision-making, and setting up the necessary frameworks to manage stakeholders.

Supporting your business growth journey
We specialize in setting up the necessary infrastructure and frameworks in order to support the transformational growth for financial institutions across three key areas:
Risk Management and Internal Control Strategic Support
We work together with the in-house function to set up the necessary frameworks, policies and procedures to immediately get the function up and running. This would also include conducting the necessary training and development for the internal team to handle these roles moving forward.
“Chief Governance Officer”-as-a-Service
We assist the CEO and Senior Management in becoming the translation layer for governance topics. This includes reviewing reports and recommending Management feedbacks, providing Business Risk and Compliance assessment, as well as recommending operational process changes to address regulations. This protects the independence of control functions better, whilst ensuring Corporate Goals are met.
Investment Funds and Portfolios
We will assess the current investment framework and infrastructure, then align back to the objectives and performance. From this exercise we will then recommend and assist to implement changes to the investment activities.
Corporate Finance Advisory
We support existing in-house capabilities, by assessing the target Company and map to the aspirations of the existing shareholders. From this exercise, we can then support ongoing or prospective Corporate Mergers, Acquisitions and/or Divestments as well as Capital Management.
Funding Strategy
We will conduct an overall assessment of the Company stage and map to the aspirations of the existing shareholders. From this exercise, we prepare a bespoke Funding Plan for the Company.
Listing Strategy and Plans
If the Company agrees on Listing as a funding option, we will prepare the overall Strategy and Project Plan – our focus is to ensure long-term value for shareholders and having key stakeholders participate in the value creation.
