Integrated Assurance

Credibility is critical for businesses and this depends on delivering what they say they will. Our clients rely on their reputation for reliability and this hinges on giving customers and stakeholders greater confidence in their projects, budgets, and programmes.

At GHD, our project professionals are skilled at conducting impartial evaluations to inform our clients' investment decisions with reliable advice. They are part of a 250-strong global service that provides independent and evidence-based assessments, from inception to close out. We have delivered these services across a range of projects, including change programmes, infrastructure projects, maintenance agendas, and IT rollouts.

We partner with our clients' early on in project planning to align our assurance activities with their project and programme aims. We also work closely with sponsors, funding bodies, and programme teams to validate that projects are deliverable and affordable. This provides us with the knowledge to effectively focus on the most critical areas and help our clients mitigate corporate, financial and reputational risks - including securing investment with robust business cases and developing compelling cost and benefit reports.

We build stakeholder engagement arrangements and governance models to effectively gather and address any potential blockers before they become critical and build this into project delivery. This includes defining roles and responsibilities, terms of reference, and supporting processes to efficiently resolve challenges and keep projects moving. We work alongside ongoing projects, continually reviewing delivery to ensure they are on course to be delivered on time and within agreed budgets.

Whether our clients are looking to keep existing projects on track, or need to build a persuasive case for investment - GHD crafts an integrated assurance model to help clients develop and maintain a reputation for reliable delivery.
