Governance is judged by what holds when the pressure rises

We work across three connected fronts: the credibility of non-financial reporting, the real effectiveness of governance bodies, and the response when misconduct is suspected.

What we help you solve

  • ESG requirements imposed by an investor or a buyer, with no data to answer them.
  • An audit committee that receives a great deal of paper and asks few decisive questions.
  • A suspected misappropriation to investigate without compromising evidence or staff.
  • A whistleblowing channel that is published but never used — because nobody believes in it.

Before opening an investigation

How the first hours are handled often determines whether the evidence remains usable. Contact us before interviewing anyone or restricting system access.

What we do

  • IFRS S1 and S2 readiness
  • ESG data, controls and reporting
  • Sustainability assurance readiness
  • Board and audit committee effectiveness
  • Fraud risk assessments and investigations
  • Whistleblowing and ethics frameworks
  • Third-party and procurement integrity reviews

Standards and regional context

Our work draws on the ISSB's IFRS S1 and S2, the governance principles applicable to OHADA companies and, for forensic work, investigation methods that respect the chain of evidence and the rights of the individuals involved.
