When it comes to major transactions like M&A, IPOs, or securing private equity or venture capital, governance can make or break the deal. Gaps in governance and slow processes erode trust and can even stall negotiations entirely.

The Transaction-Ready Governance Checklist is a practical resource designed to help organisations avoid these pitfalls and stay prepared for opportunities, no matter how complex. It offers clear guidance on how to:

  • Spot and fill the governance gaps that can stall deals
  • Use AI and automation to do more with fewer resources
  • Create consistent, credible investor and board materials
  • Build a foundation of trust and transparency that supports long-term growth

For CFOs, company secretaries and governance professionals, this checklist serves as a roadmap to align your team’s efforts with business growth goals while ensuring efficiency, security, and credibility.
