An assessment provides an effective way to communicate your company's compliance and integrity to investors, creditors, regulators, business partners, and other stakeholders. It can help manage investor expectations and signal your commitment to sound corporate governance. This can in turn reduce your cost of capital, support your share price and allow well-governed companies to capitalise on the premium investors are willing to pay for good governance.

DNV can locate problem areas and help you change them into strategic, organisational, and operational assets. Understanding and communicating on governance risks helps you build internal awareness and identify clear responsibilities for managing these risks. Our assessment helps non-executive directors and senior management as well as other employees to better understand your company's risk profile and governance practices.
