Governance & Management Exposure
Director & KMP Legal Risk Assessment
A focused review of governance, approvals, delegation, contracts, financing, compliance and management-level exposure affecting directors and key managerial personnel.
What may be reviewed
Board processes, approvals, delegated authority, records and decision trails.
Who owns statutory, contractual and operational obligations and how closure is documented.
Material undertakings, guarantees, indemnities, representations and management approvals.
Loan covenants, security documents, guarantees and lender-facing obligations.
Decision-making around disciplinary action, exits, workplace issues and investigations.
Existing proceedings, threatened disputes and management decisions creating future exposure.
Assessment framework
Identify material decisions and who authorised them.
Review board records, approvals, emails, policies and delegated authority.
Assess contractual, regulatory, employment, financing and dispute exposure.
Identify weak approvals, missing records, unclear ownership or undocumented exceptions.
Recommend governance, documentation, delegation and monitoring improvements.
Typical deliverables
Management exposure map, decision and approval matrix, governance-gap observations, material risk summary, remedial-control recommendations and closure tracker.
When this is useful
Before financing or investment, during governance restructuring, after compliance failures, following internal investigations, or where management wants a clearer record of decision-making and responsibility.
Management risk is not only personal liability
The objective is broader: improve governance, clarify ownership, strengthen approvals, preserve evidence of responsible decision-making and reduce avoidable exposure for both the organisation and its management.
Part of the Corporate Legal Risk framework
Director and KMP assessments can be combined with corporate legal risk audits, compliance reviews, contract audits and governance remediation.
