ASX listed companies operate in an environment of high scrutiny, complex regulation, and fast-changing risks. 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 of large corporations and ASX listed entities meet these expectations by strengthening governance frameworks, risk and assurance functions, and organisational resilience.
Whether you are managing growth, navigating ESG disclosures, addressing cyber risks, or enhancing internal audit capability, our experienced team understands what it takes to deliver confidence and value.
Operating a large corporation or an ASX listed entity exposes its board and leadership to a complex landscape of high-stakes 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, 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, the entity faces 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.
We provide independent, practical, and board-level advisory services that build confidence with investors, regulators and stakeholders.
