Global Business Integrity Solutions

We are your partner to develop or enhance your risk management competences, compliance programs and overall control framework to strengthen your culture of integrity and governance.

Why Choose STEER

Understanding and managing risks as an integral part of your day-to-day business activities is imperative in order to achieve the operational and strategic goals of your company.

In today’s fast changing business world static risk management methodologies, bureaucratic control systems and formalistic compliance programs are no longer suitable to successfully steer your business while properly responding to the various expectations and regulations of your business environment.

At STEER we believe in risk management as a dynamic element of doing business built on a solid framework and an integral part of the management process at the same time.

At STEER we believe in controls embedded in your business processes and organizational culture that allow operating effectively and efficiently while safeguarding assets and resources at the same time.

At STEER we believe in high ethical standards based on solid compliance programs while at the same time being part of an organization’s culture of integrity.

With many years of experience we have learned the keys to develop strong methodologies and processes in the fields of Compliance, Risk Management, Internal Control Systems and Audit work. We have experienced the challenges to make them become part of a company’s “DNA”. We are looking forward sharing our experiences with you. It’s never too late to come on board!

What We Offer

We assist companies achieving a culture of integrity and strong governance, globally

Internal Audit Best Practices

“Internal Auditing is an independent, objective assurance and consulting activity designed to add value and improve an organization’s operations. It helps an organization accomplish its objectives by bringing a systematic, disciplined approach to evaluate and improve the effectiveness of risk management, control, and governance processes” (IIA - Institute of Internal Auditors).

No doubt that in today’s fast moving volatile business environment an IA function constantly needs to review its capabilities to provide value and meet stakeholder’s expectations. While the purpose for the IA function fundamentally has not changed over the past years the function’s methodologies as well as the required skills of the auditors periodically need to be reviewed, redesigned and adjusted in order to respond accurately to the rapid changing business environment as well as risks and opportunities the organization is confronted with.

STEER consultancy aims at building and strengthening Internal Audit functions in a way to focus on issues that matter, respond on time and trigger sustainable corrections and improvements. Our solutions therefore are customized to the client’s specific business, leveraged on advanced analytics and real-time communication on critical issues.

Types of Engagement

The partners of STEER and all our associates are well experienced in understanding the circumstances that might lead to your desire to strengthen your existing approach to risk management, to uplift your Internal Audit function or to strengthen your compliance program. We also understand that our services to support you on this journey are most effective if tailored to your specific situation. Our offerings are therefore built on 3 pillars which we have developed over the past years to better interact with our clients:

Consulting

With over four decades of experience in compliance, risk management, finance and audit we believe that we can be valuable to your corporation. Our solutions are based on our experiences – the good ones and the bad ones – and tailored to the situation you are currently confronted with. 

Interim Management

STEER provides Interim Management Services for middle and top management levels in the fields of Finance, Auditing, Investigations and Compliance. We offer our clients the skills and experiences of leaders who are fully dedicated to deliver successfully on your mandate including delivering on the expected outcome of initiatives such as business transitions, change management, restructuring, geographical expansion and others. 

Advisory

Start-up Advisory
STEER’s experienced partners help you transforming your business ideas into strategy and action. We alert you on blind spots and possible hurdles to overcome in developing your business and we coach you in building the organizational structure suitable to your growth path. STEER partners have worked on all continents. We are well positioned to guide you to approach international markets. Our network can help you to “touch ground”.

Board Advisory
Although roles and responsibilities of the board and its members most of the time are defined, the practical application often raises questions to be answered such as: How to assess the board’s activities? or What are the relevant agenda points for board- and committee meetings? or How to distinguish the board’s influence between strategic- and operational topics? Based on their experiences STEER partners provide guidance to fulfill the responsibilities of your board membership.

Project-specific Advisory / Coaching and Mentoring
You have the great opportunity to run a major internal project - be it a business expansion, change management program, a restructuring project, a cost saving initiative or the set-up of a new function. You might seek for a sparring partner and coach running next to you and lending a hand. STEER provides you the right match at any time during this process, to successfully deliver on your project.
