Approach

Engagements begin with the organisation's obligations, operating environment and the issue requiring independent judgement. Scope and outputs are agreed to suit the organisation and its circumstances.

The work considers risk ownership, decision rights, escalation and the relationship between policy and operational practice. Documentary evidence is considered alongside the experience of those responsible for applying the arrangements.

Advice distinguishes supported findings from assumptions and gaps in evidence. It sets out implications for risk, readiness and capability, with proportionate corrective action, clear ownership and a basis for checking whether change has occurred.
