​Our framework bridges the gap between traditional compliance and modern psychological safety. We transform psychosocial risk management from a "wellness" initiative into a robust governance pillar, ensuring your organization meets its legal obligations under the Occupational Health and Safety Act (OHSA) and the Employment Equity Act.

​Our Multi-Layered Framework
​OHSA & SANS Alignment: We integrate psychosocial hazard identification into your mandatory Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment (HIRA) processes, ensuring mental health is treated with the same statutory gravity as physical safety.

​Executive Stewardship: We move beyond HR-led silos, establishing clear accountability at the Board and Exco levels. This ensures that "Duty of Care" is a core component of your corporate governance and King IV reporting.

​Preventative Risk Mapping: Using data-driven insights tailored to the South African socio-economic context, we identify systemic stressors—such as organizational change, workplace bullying, or burnout—before they lead to Section 17 (Health and Safety Rep) interventions.

​Systemic Resilience: Our architecture builds a sustainable culture of psychological safety that reduces absenteeism and "presenteeism," driving productivity while ensuring full compliance with the Department of Employment and Labour guidelines.

​In an era of increased regulatory scrutiny and complex financial crime, a standard audit is often not enough. Our Forensic Integrity Audits go beyond the numbers, providing a deep-dive diagnostic into the ethical and operational health of your organization. We identify vulnerabilities, detect irregularities, and provide the evidence-based clarity required for decisive leadership.

​Our Investigative Approach

​Fraud Risk Assessment & Detection: We conduct proactive "stress tests" on your internal controls to identify areas susceptible to white-collar crime, procurement irregularities, and maladministration.

​Compliance with SA Legislation: Our audits are designed to ensure alignment with the Prevention and Combating of Corrupt Activities Act (PRECCA) and the Financial Intelligence Centre Act (FICA).

​Regulatory & Statutory Alignment: We provide specialized support for internal investigations that may lead to Section 34 reporting obligations (the mandatory reporting of suspicious transactions).

​Data-Driven Forensic Insights: Leveraging advanced digital forensics, we analyze patterns to uncover hidden conflicts of interest, "ghost" vendors, and systemic ethical breaches.

Why Choose Our Forensic Framework?

​We don't just find what went wrong; we provide the Integrity Architecture to ensure it doesn't happen again. By combining forensic accounting with an understanding of organizational behavior, we help you build a workplace where integrity is the default setting.

​Our Independent Counsel Charters provide a formal, structural framework that allows Board Members and Independent Non-Executive Directors (NEDs) to seek external, impartial expertise. This ensures that the governing body remains the "focal point of and the custodian of corporate governance" without being solely reliant on information provided by management.

​Key Pillars of the Charter

​Institutional Autonomy: We draft protocols that define when and how the Board can bypass internal legal departments to seek independent advice, ensuring no "filtering" of sensitive legal or ethical risks.

​Conflict Mitigation: The Charter establishes clear rules for engagement in scenarios where the interests of management and the organization may diverge, such as during M&A activity, executive misconduct probes, or Section 165 (Companies Act) derivative actions.

​King IV & Companies Act Alignment: Our frameworks are designed to satisfy the King IV principle of "Effective Control," providing directors with the tools to demonstrate they have exercised informed, unfettered judgment.
​Mandate & Scope Definition: We define the specific powers of the Independent Counsel—from attending board meetings and reviewing minutes to conducting private briefings for the Lead Independent Director (LID).

Why Formalize the Mandate?
​Without a formal Independent Counsel Charter, seeking external advice can be ad-hoc, costly, and culturally disruptive. Our approach creates a pre-agreed "Rules of Engagement" that preserves professional relationships while ensuring the Board’s integrity remains beyond reproach.
