ASX listed companies, large private enterprises, and high-growth brands operate in an environment of high scrutiny, complex regulation, and a fast-changing risk environment. Investors, regulators and customers expect strong governance, transparency, ethical behaviour and sustainable performance.
At InConsult, we help boards, audit and risk committees, executives and risk leaders meet these expectations by strengthening governance frameworks, risk and assurance functions, and organisational resilience.
Whether you are managing fast growth, navigating ESG disclosures, addressing cyber risks, or enhancing risk management and assurance capabilities, our multidisciplinary team have extensive experience advising boards and executives in ASX-listed, multinational and large private organisations to strengthen governance, manage risk and build resilience.
Operating an ASX listed company exposes the board and leadership team to a complex landscape of high-stake liabilities, starting with the constant threat of continuous disclosure obligations failures, which can trigger costly shareholder class actions and ASIC investigations for the alleged failure to timely inform the market of material information.
Furthermore, for large private enterprise, or high-growth brands, director & officer (D&O) liability presents a direct personal risk to executives and board members for breaches of duty and alleged misleading conduct. This is compounded by the rising complexities of shareholder activism & litigation, which involves defending derivative actions, opposing hostile takeovers, and managing dissent during Annual General Meetings (AGMs).
Beyond governance, ASX listed companies, large private enterprises, and high-growth brands face significant operational threats, including sophisticated cyber threats aimed at market-sensitive information, intellectual property, and client data, potentially resulting in severe brand damage and regulatory fines.
Finally, periods of high growth or change, such as mergers, acquisitions, and capital raising, introduce heightened and complex risks associated with due diligence, prospectuses, and managing new investor expectations.
At InConsult, we understand that the stakes are high for listed entities, large private corporations and high-growth brands alike.
Our experienced consultants have advised Boards, Audit and Risk Committees and Executive Teams through complex governance, disclosure, risk and assurance challenges.
We bring independence, clarity and confidence to help organisations strengthen governance frameworks, manage emerging risks, and enhance resilience in the face of regulatory scrutiny, shareholder expectations and market volatility.
Whether it’s supporting your Board to meet continuous disclosure obligations, enhancing risk and assurance frameworks, or improving readiness for growth and transformation, InConsult provides trusted, practical advice that helps leaders make sound, defensible decisions that build confidence with investors, regulators and stakeholders.
