Board and committee structure, terms of reference, delegated authority and continuing obligations. We are usually instructed because a scheme of delegation names committees rather than people, and nobody can say who decided what Every engagement letter states the six we take on and the four.
Governance failures are almost never failures of intent. They are failures of record: a decision was taken by people acting in good faith under an authority nobody can now locate, and the instrument that was supposed to confer it names a committee rather than a person. The work is therefore documentary before it is advisory. We read the articles, the terms of reference, the delegation schedule and eighteen months of minutes, and produce a map of who actually holds each decision against who is named as holding it. In most engagements the two lists differ in six or seven places, and two of those matter.
The matters we handle, and those we pass on.
Every engagement letter states the six we take on and the four we refer out. The second list is the more useful of the two, and saying so at the scoping call costs you nothing.

Four stages, adopted at one reading.
Every engagement letter states the six we take on and the four we refer out. The second list is the more useful of the two, and saying so at the scoping call costs you nothing.
Scope and position
Thirty-minute call, then a written for scope with the fee and the timetable. Where the structural problem is the recommendation.
Read the instruments
Terms of reference, the delegation is schedule and eighteen months of minutes. The output is a map of who actually holds.
Redraft and consult
One instrument replaces the set. We take it through each committee in turn rather than presenting it finished.
Rehoming
A board-ready pack: the instrument, a schedule of what changed, and the first agenda under it. Adopted at a single reading.
Five documents, built for use.
Every engagement letter states the six we take on and the four we refer out. The second list is the more useful of the two, and saying so at the scoping call costs you nothing.
