The disappearance of leading organisations such as HIH, Enron and Ansett from the market did not only effect their direct stakeholders, but it also increased concerns with boards and stakeholders of other organisations regarding the appropriateness of their methods and processes to mitigate the risks that could force organisations to leave the market.

There is a greater need now than ever before for boards and management to obtain independent assurance regarding the activities under their control. In most cases, this assurance reaches far beyond traditional financial audit and reporting. We deliver a range of services aimed to eliminate the gap between financial audit and reporting, and boards’ and management’s expectations for assurance. These services include:

Governance Assurance

Review and evaluate organisation’s corporate governance status against recognised standards and compliance with legal requirements to provide boards and management with the necessary assurance regarding its adequacy.

Policies and Procedures

A significant aspect of sound corporate governance is the formalisation of relevant policies and procedures, and keeping them up to date. PBMS assists organisations and their management to develop policies and procedures for the first time, or revise existing policies and procedures for appropriateness.

Ethical and Fraud Investigations

PBMS assists management in considering the appropriateness of ethical policies, procedures and management practices, as well as measuring current operations against accepted best practice standards. We also assist organisations with fraud investigations.
