Board pack review
What we examine when auditing governance reporting — from the MI calendar to the trail after a decision.
Map the reporting calendar
We start with what the board and each committee are scheduled to receive — capital, liquidity, conduct, operational risk, technology, and customer outcomes. Gaps between the calendar and the packs that actually land are often the first findings.
Test MI against decisions
Each material paper should support a question directors can answer: status, trend, exception, and recommended action. Narrative-only packs and unowned metrics are flagged with concrete examples from your recent cycles.
Trace escalations
We sample incidents and limit breaches to see whether they reached the right forum on time, with enough context. Late, diluted, or informal escalations are recorded as reporting failures, not only operational ones.
Read minutes and actions
Minutes should show challenge, decisions, and follow-up ownership. We compare action trackers to subsequent packs so open items do not disappear between meetings.
Sequence remediation
Findings are ranked by governance exposure and practical fix time. You receive a sequenced plan — calendar hygiene and ownership first, structural pack redesign next — timed to your next board cycle.
