The readiness assessment is where most engagements begin, because it converts a vague ambition into a specific work plan.
We review the group's financial reporting, accounting records and supporting documentation; the corporate and shareholding structure; related-party arrangements; internal controls and finance team capacity; governance and board composition; and any legal, licensing or tax matters likely to surface in diligence.
Each gap is written up with what is required, who needs to do it, how long it is likely to take and what it will cost. The result is a sequenced roadmap rather than a list of problems.
