Audit Scope & Outcomes
A high-growth technology platform operating across 7 jurisdictions was targeting a major stock market listing. The organization had no formal internal audit function, no documented ICOFR framework, and significant governance gaps.
As Strategic Advisor, I was mandated to oversee the end-to-end IPO readiness programme, ensuring full compliance with regional corporate governance codes and establishing a board-grade control environment within 18 months.
I led seven integrated workstreams, including the build-out of a 175+ control ICOFR framework and the design of a group-wide whistleblowing and ethics programme. I established the Audit Committee charters and reporting protocols aligned to listing requirements.
Delivered a clean, first-time external audit opinion on ICOFR. Successfully aligned board and committee structures with regional market regulations across all jurisdictions, providing the governance foundation required for the listing prospectus.
Pre-IPO governance collapses when treated as retrospective compliance theater. Designing deterministic control gates across order-to-cash, inventory accounting, and month-end financial close produces clean audit opinions while preserving operating momentum.
