Promoting Assurance and Confidence

New Zealand is moving to a new system where confidence in the management of risk – particularly “critical” risks is becoming more important. It’s vital that business leaders have the right framework in place to support this.  The recent case of MNZ V Gibson has highlighted the importance of understanding ‘work as done’, not just ‘work as imagined’.

I can help you to develop risk processes. I provide external audits, reviews and investigations to provide an independent and objective perspective. I can be the trusted external advisor to your board and to your business.

We were involved in the development and launch of the WorkSafe/ACC/MBIE Safe+ health and safety performance improvement tool and Mike was one of the first accredited assessors. I now have extensive experience of applying Safe+ across a range of sectors and sizes of business.
