Governance Advisory

---

Good governance is not a compliance checkbox. It is the foundation that determines whether a regulated business operates effectively, makes sound decisions, manages risk proportionately, and maintains the confidence of its regulator, investors, and partners.

Kybri provides governance advisory services for regulated businesses in fintech, virtual assets, payments, and iGaming. What makes this service different is that it comes from direct, practical board-level experience in regulated environments. This is not theoretical governance advice. It is guidance from someone who has sat at the table and been personally accountable for the decisions.

What this covers:

• Board effectiveness reviews - assessing how your board functions, whether it has the right composition, information, and processes to provide effective oversight
• Governance framework design - building or refining your governance structure including board and committee terms of reference, delegated authorities, and decision-making frameworks
• Risk appetite and risk governance - helping boards define, document, and monitor risk appetite in line with regulatory expectations
• Management information and board reporting - designing the reporting packs and KPIs that give boards genuine visibility into business performance, compliance posture, and risk exposure
• Regulatory governance requirements - ensuring your governance arrangements meet the expectations of the FSA, GSC, FCA, or other relevant supervisory authority
• Pre-licensing governance setup - building the governance framework that regulators expect to see as part of your licensing application
• Board advisory and NED support - available for Non-Executive Director and advisory board appointments in a personal capacity, bringing compliance, regulatory, and operational perspective to board-level oversight

Governance advisory is particularly valuable for businesses preparing for a new licence (where the regulator will assess governance as part of the application), scaling businesses that have outgrown their founder-led governance model, and investor-backed businesses where governance expectations are increasing.

Note: NED and advisory board appointments are made to individuals personally. Kybri Consulting Limited does not provide director services as a commercial offering.

Engagement model: Project-based (governance reviews, framework design) or ongoing advisory retainer. NED appointments structured separately.
