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 the wider digital economy. 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 people who have sat at the table and been personally accountable for the decisions.

What this covers

• Board effectiveness reviews: assessing how your board functions and 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 of 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: Kyle Brits is 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 Kyle Brits personally. Kybri Consulting Limited does not provide director services as a commercial offering.
