Corporate Governance
Strong corporate governance is no longer a nicety, it’s a necessity. Loxton Forensics understands the importance of ethical leadership and transparent practices. Our service offers a comprehensive approach designed to equip your organisation with the frameworks and processes needed to operate with integrity and accountability.
What is Corporate Governance?
Corporate governance refers to the set of rules, practices, and processes that ensure a company is directed, controlled, and held accountable in a responsible and ethical manner. It encompasses a range of areas, including board composition, financial reporting, risk management, and stakeholder engagement.
What does Corporate Governance cover?
- Developing a robust governance framework – We work collaboratively with your leadership team to develop a customised framework that aligns with your organisation’s size, industry, and risk profile. This framework outlines clear roles and responsibilities for directors, promotes transparency in decision-making, and ensures compliance with relevant regulations.
- Enhancing board effectiveness – Our team provides guidance and training to boards on best practices for corporate governance. This includes effective board composition, robust committee structures, and conducting meaningful board meetings. We help boards fulfil their oversight responsibilities effectively, ensuring ethical leadership and strategic decision-making.
- Promoting transparency and accountability – Loxton Forensics emphasises the importance of transparency and accountability in all aspects of your organisation’s operations. We assist in developing clear communication channels with stakeholders, including shareholders, creditors, and employees. This cements trust and confidence in leadership and practices.
What are the benefits of Corporate Governance?

- Sustainable growth and competitive advantage – Effective corporate governance practices create a foundation for sustainable growth. By operating with integrity and accountability, you can build a strong reputation, attract top talent, and gain a competitive advantage in the marketplace.
