GRC
Governance, Risk & Compliance
Frameworks that protect the business — not just tick regulatory boxes.
Graham holds GRCP and GRCA certifications from OCEG — the global standard-setter for integrated governance, risk, and compliance. This is not a side interest; it is a core discipline that shapes how every client engagement is structured.
For SMEs, governance is often treated as something large corporates do. We disagree. The businesses most exposed to governance failures are the ones that think they're too small to need it — until an ATO audit, a director liability claim, or a key person departure forces the issue.
Our GRC work is practical: risk registers that are actually reviewed, compliance calendars that are actually followed, and governance structures that make the business more resilient — not more bureaucratic.
What we deliver
- Governance framework design for SMEs and family businesses
- Risk registers with practical mitigation strategies
- Compliance calendar management (ATO, ASIC, APRA, state regulators)
- Director and officer liability reviews
- Internal control assessments and improvement plans
- Regulatory change monitoring and impact analysis
- Cybersecurity governance and risk assessment
- Board reporting and governance documentation
Who this is for
- SME owners wanting to de-risk without adding bureaucracy
- Businesses in regulated industries (financial services, property, health)
- Companies preparing for investment, sale, or audit
- Boards needing structured governance reporting
