Corporate Governance and Risk Advisory
The Firm is actively involved in advising clients in several sectors of industry on principles and best practices in corporate governance.
Our corporate governance model is based on the SEC and CBN Codes of Corporate Governance and diligently compares international standards and codes including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (US), the Combined Code (UK), The King Code (South Africa), OECD Corporate Governance Principles, and the Reports on Observance of Standards and Codes (World Bank Corporate Governance Group principles).
Typical corporate governance components of our practice emphasize the following:
- Board Effectiveness: Policy Statements

- Internal Controls
- Corporate strategy and planning
- Legal Compliance
- Risk management and Audit Committee
