Supports business leaders to further understand their corporate governance
As the business and regulatory landscape continues to evolve, organizations face unprecedented emerging and systemic risks – digitization, globalization, increased regulations and stepped up global enforcement – all of which are impacting the confidence level of risk oversight.
Business leaders are constantly challenged to balance the pursuit of corporate performance objectives while maintaining compliance with regulatory requirements. As a result, many organizations are seeking answers that will help them align corporate strategy and culture to protect financial and reputational assets, as well as enhance business value.
They recognize that, in both the short and long term, successful companies will be those that can manage risk, drive business performance and achieve regulatory compliance in an environment in which these outcomes must be managed strategically and with agility.
KPMG's Board Advisory Services (BAS) supports business leaders to further understand their corporate governance responsibilities and improve their performance and governance standards. We equip boards and C-level executives with the tools needed to tackle the key issues impacting their ability to drive strategy and governance.
BAS offers a selection of services across leadership and culture, strategy and performance, accountability and audit as well as stakeholder engagement that can be tailored to the specific requirements of boards, committees and other board-appointed governance bodies including board training, corporate governance structure reviews, corporate governance disclosure reviews, board performance evaluations and board assurance frameworks.
