In today’s increasingly complicated business environment, doing what is right is no longer simply a luxury - it is a necessity.
The Red Flag Group provides advisory services, guidance, direction and coaching to Boards, Compliance and Legal Departments on how they could develop and improve their Corporate Governance & Compliance programs. Our services range from providing basic Board structuring, improvement and company secretarial work to audit and investigation work around corrupt practices.
Let us help you find out how you can turn Corporate Governance, Ethics and Compliance into a competitive advantage.
With our broad expertise in all things ethical and compliance-related, we help companies develop, review, test, and audit their compliance programmes. Whether it is just to improve general corporate compliance or against the context of environmental issues, stock exchange listing, insurance regulations, FCPA, privacy, anti-trust and competition, or export control, our team will help you improve your compliance infrastructure so it will bring more value to your business.
Examples of where we can help:
- Develop, test, and revise corporate codes of conduct
- Culture of compliance
- Building programs around specific risk areas
- External testing and benchmarking
- Localise, or implement and test, global programs
- Implementation testing of global programs
- Risk assessments and risk identification
Training is fundamental to any compliance program, and it is also an ideal way to teach employees how to recognize and deal with red flags, and reduce the risk of ethical violations. It should be interactive, understandable, and tailored to the intended audience.
We provide customized solutions to a range of companies and industries, from 1-to-1 coaching to group workshops.
Available on an hourly, daily, monthly, or annual basis, our compliance experts can be called upon to provide assistance to clients who experience an urgent need for additional manpower, whether they be due to staffing issues, spikes in enforcement, or growth in business activity.
Secondments are available on short notice, and the client can decide on the types of skill-sets they are accessing.
Common uses:
- Coverage for busy periods (annual 10k filings, etc…)
- Coverage during regulator enforcement investigations
- Maternity leave and long vacations of existing staff
- Filling senior roles during vacancies
- Specific projects that require skill-sets not already available in your team
A consistent and systematic audit program is the linchpin to any company’s compliance infrastructure. Regular audits allow a company to identify weaknesses, gaps, and areas of improvement in their compliance programs, policies, and procedures.
Depending on your needs, our services can range from a small discreet review of a small aspect of your existing compliance program - such as a spot-check of the gift and entertainment policy, to a full-fledge "health check" of your overall compliance system.
Examples:
- Testing awareness and compliance with internal policies and procedures
- Reviewing due diligence files for intermediaries, vendors, suppliers, resellers and distributors (as part of your intermediary selection process)
- Testing whether a program implemented in a country meets corporate requirements
In the unlikely circumstance that you do become the subject of a regulatory enforcement action, three things will always happen. Firstly, everything will become urgent. You will be already be flat out on the day-to-day business tasks and not have the time to deal with the new emergency. Lastly, everyone from the mail room through to the CEO will want an update.
We can help you deal with these challenges. Our consultants are business-savvy, tested professionals who will be able to help you navigate through these times of need. We will help you determine a game plan, provide support in its execution, and provide constant updates all the way in everything from a regulatory enquiry to a full-blown regulatory audit.
Good corporate governance is necessary in today’s business climate. It is no longer acceptable to rely on antiquated principles of management. Governance is about implementing an appropriate and transparent infrastructure to support a largely-independent board of directors.
The Red Flag Group can help develop a solid governance infrastructure. Examples of our services include:
- Setting up a governance structure in any organization
- Reorganizing the board and their roles and responsibilities
- Restructuring the governance of family companies to be more transparent
- Developing board experience in strategic planning, financial analysis, and risk and governance
- Restructuring the roles played by the board and senior management
