Governance, Risk and Compliance

Governance that holds.
Compliance that doesn't hold you back.

Organisations that treat GRC as a box-ticking exercise eventually pay for it. We help build the frameworks, culture, and capability that turn governance into a genuine competitive advantage.

What We Do

Integrated GRC. Designed for the world you operate in.

Governance, Risk and Compliance: Strategic GRC Advisory
The organisations that manage governance, risk, and compliance most effectively are not the ones with the most policies. They are the ones where GRC is genuinely embedded in how decisions get made.
Our GRC practice covers the full spectrum from governance framework design and board advisory through to enterprise risk management, regulatory compliance, and ethics. We bring these disciplines together because the real value lies in their integration: a governance structure that does not account for risk is incomplete; a compliance framework not connected to culture will fail.Every engagement begins with understanding your specific regulatory context, your risk profile, and the maturity of your existing arrangements. We do not impose frameworks, we build ones that fit.

Governance Advisory

Clarity of mandate. Strength of oversight.

Good governance is not about compliance with a code. It is about the quality of the decisions that get made, the accountability structures that surround them, and the information that boards and leadership have to act on.

Alona Advisory Story: Built by Experts for Impact
Governance Framework Design & Review

We design governance frameworks that reflect the complexity of your organisation, clarifying mandates, accountability structures, and decision-making authorities so that your board and leadership operate with genuine clarity.

Board & Audit Committee Advisory

Practical support for boards and audit committees seeking to strengthen their oversight effectiveness, covering committee structure, terms of reference, reporting frameworks, and the quality of information flowing to the board.

Corporate Governance Assessments

An independent assessment of your governance arrangements against recognised frameworks and leading practice, identifying gaps, prioritising improvements, and providing a roadmap for sustainable governance maturity.

Policy Architecture & Governance Documentation

A coherent policy and procedure framework aligned to your governance structure, risk appetite, and regulatory obligations designed to be understood and actually followed, not filed and forgotten.

Risk Management

Risk that is understood. And managed, not just reported.

Risk management that lives in a register and gets presented at board meetings is not risk management. We help organisations build risk frameworks that are embedded in how they think, plan, and decide.

Enterprise Risk Management

Design and implementation of ERM frameworks that move beyond compliance embedding risk thinking into strategy, planning, and day-to-day decision-making across the organisation.

Risk Appetite Framework Development

We work with leadership and boards to articulate a risk appetite that is specific, actionable, and genuinely reflective of the organisation’s strategy and capacity, not a generic statement that says nothing.

Operational Risk Assessments

Targeted assessments of specific risk areas identifying the controls in place, evaluating their effectiveness, and providing a clear view of the residual risk your organisation is carrying.

Risk Culture Assessment

An evidence-based assessment of how risk is actually understood and managed across your organisation, including where the culture enables good risk decisions and where it doesn’t.

Compliance Management

Compliant by design. Not by accident.

The regulatory environment is not getting simpler. We help organisations build compliance programmes that are proportionate, integrated, and built to last, not reactive fixes that unravel when the next requirement arrives.

Regulatory Compliance Frameworks

We design compliance programmes that are proportionate to your regulatory environment structured to manage real regulatory risk, not to tick boxes on a compliance checklist.

Compliance Monitoring & Testing

Ongoing compliance monitoring and testing to provide assurance that your compliance obligations are being met in practice and early warning when they are not.

Ethics & Integrity Programmes

From codes of conduct to whistleblowing frameworks to ethics training, we help organisations build the ethical infrastructure that sustainable governance requires.

Regulatory Change Management

Support for organisations navigating significant regulatory changes from impact assessment through to policy, process, and systems adjustments required to achieve and maintain compliance.

Governance is not a constraint on performance. Done properly, it is what makes sustained performance possible.
