What is happening, what matters, and what should we do?

Services
What Advisory covers.
- Board and Committee Advisory
- Retained counsel to boards, audit and risk committees and executive teams on governance and how it holds.
- Operating Audits and Structural Diligence
- An assessment of how a business, target or portfolio company operates: governance, responsibilities, operating structures, controls, dependencies and execution capacity. It is not a statutory or financial audit and does not result in an audit opinion.
- Investigation and Diagnosis
- Establishing what is producing an incident, a failure or a persistent problem, what it puts at risk and where to start.
Entry Points
Governance review before investment or exit
An evidence-based view of how the company is governed and run, before investors or acquirers examine it.
Case studies
A buy-side diligence question
Governance maturity and risk established before signing, with a remediation roadmap the acquirer could act on from completion.
HIBS exists to solve complex systemic problems.
