- First draft summary of the organisational assessment for the leadership team is prepared, areas of exposure identified; remedial action and priorities proposed.
- Hold a Competences Workshop in which :
- the Finance Leadership Team debate and finalise actions proposed to mitigate exposure risks.
- The Finance Leadership Team and other senior finance people are trained to assess their reports.
