Governance and values

Enhance professional governance for family businesses 

Are you striving for professional governance? We offer expert support to help you enhance your governance structure. As there are no specific guidelines for governance in family businesses, establishing professional management can often be challenging. You may apply the principles of the Dutch Corporate Governance Code for listed companies, but this frequently leads to administrative burdens. Our specialists understand the issues and challenges faced by family businesses. We can train your staff, advise on remuneration policies, identify potential risks and assist in managing them.

Core values

The formulation of core values constitutes the basis for the conduct that you value the most in your enterprise. You nurture it with family values, strategy, brand promises and governance objectives, this in interaction with your employees, investors, society and other stakeholders. In addition, one of the greatest challenges facing you is the handing down of your values to the following generation. We can work with you to secure the culture of your family business for the future.

Risk management and compliance

Your company must meet all manner of rules and regulations. We can help you integrate your compliance processes into your business strategy.

Questions

Compliance requires major efforts in all divisions of your organisation. Could the processes related to your annual financial statements and tax filings be more efficient? What does automation have to offer? How do you ensure that your compliance processes are supporting your general strategy?

Answers

Our finance and taxation specialists can answer these questions for you. We do not view your business compliance as a collection of individual processes, but rather as an integrated whole. We call this the "transparent compliance chain".

Transparent compliance chain

The integral approach guarantees that compliance will become part of your corporate governance and risk management. The transparent compliance chain means that we view each end product in the chain as a starting point for process improvements.

How we can help you

With this continuous improvement, we strengthen every link in your compliance chain: financial and payroll administrations, financial reporting, annual financial statements and publications, projections and long-term plans, and tax filings.
