Advisory Services
Built to the standards regulators and investors increasingly demand.
Strong governance is no longer an internal preference — it is a precondition for capital, partnership and licence to operate. Boards face heightened scrutiny from regulators, investors and the public, while internal audit, risk management and compliance functions are expected to demonstrate independence, rigour and tangible value.
Ethicalie advises organisations across the full governance, assurance and compliance lifecycle — designing structures that meet international standards while remaining practical for the organisation's size, sector and stage.
What we cover
Board composition, independence, director accountability, evaluation frameworks and governance reporting — built to the standards regulators and investors increasingly demand.
Function design, charter, methodology and transformation of existing internal audit functions. Quality assessment reviews aligned with IIA standards (IPPF), independence assessments and audit committee support.
Enterprise risk management (ERM) framework design, risk appetite articulation, and integration of risk into strategy and day-to-day operations. Not a register on a shelf — a system that informs decisions.
Compliance programme design, regulatory mapping, three-lines-of-defence architecture, monitoring routines and management reporting. Aligned with ISO 37301 where certification is in scope.
Approach
Every engagement at Ethicalie is led directly by its founder. The person who scopes the work delivers the work. No layered teams, no junior delivery, no diluted expertise.
We work alongside boards, audit committees and management teams in confidential settings — diagnosing what's there, designing what's missing and accompanying implementation until the function actually runs.
Begin with a confidential conversation. No obligations — just senior counsel on where your organisation stands and what the path to integrity looks like from here.
