Corporate governance reviews
We have been involved in business mentoring for many organisations that have completed strategic and business planning, feasibility studies, or organisational review processes. We provide long-term business mentoring to individual and organizational enterprises to ensure appropriate support. Much of our governance delivery is provided on the ground with ongoing direction over an extensive period. Involved in the delivery of corporate governance training for clients.
Program evaluations and organisational reviews
Our team have broad experience and knowledge regarding the governance structures, financial operations, human resource needs, government programs and policy directives of Indigenous Communities. Subsequently, we are in a prime position to engage with communities and organisations to review current practices and outcomes and produce a review that contains a set of practical recommendations for funding agencies, the community and the board to consider. We understand Government guidelines, programs and probity principles so we can work effectively between Government bodies and Indigenous organisations.
Feasibility studies
Yaran and our partners have conducted numerous feasibility studies for individually run Indigenous businesses, and regional groups. Studies have incorporated a range of industry sectors, from cattle production and aquaculture to community stores and hotels. We assist communities, organisations, and businesses in examining the current situation and investigating possible future scenarios to draw conclusions about the feasibility of proposed programs, projects, or partnership approaches.
