QUICK LINKS
Governing with MSM Chris
Effective governance is essential for accountability, strategic alignment, and risk management—especially in today’s compliance-driven environment. At MSM Chris, we provide independent governance assurance to help boards, audit committees, and executive teams evaluate the effectiveness of their oversight structures, internal controls, and decision-making processes.
Our Approach
We assess governance systems holistically—reviewing policies, board practices, delegation structures, risk oversight, and internal controls. Our work is guided by leading frameworks including the Code of Corporate Governance, the King IV Report, and sector-specific governance guidelines. We work closely with your leadership to deliver actionable insights that promote transparency and accountability at all levels.
