Governance Assurance & Capital Stewardship
Contribute judgement within governance assurance mandates
Autonomy, accountability, and trust are non-negotiable.
We collaborate with experienced professionals who are comfortable operating with authority, discretion, and responsibility within defined governance assurance frameworks. Contribution is measured by judgement and outcomes, not presence or volume. This is not a conventional employment model. It is a professional governance assurance platform built on standards, independence, and long-term alignment with owners’ interests.
Independent owner-side governance assurance depends on judgement that cannot be industrialised, juniorised, or substituted by process alone. To sustain this capability over time without compromising independence or accountability, TacminMadini is structured as a governance assurance–led professional network. This enables practitioners to contribute meaningfully across different stages of their professional lifecycle, while preserving the integrity and continuity expected by asset owners, boards, and capital partners.
Independent professionals who contribute judgement within formally mandated governance assurance roles. Contribution is episodic, mandate-based, and exercised above delivery and advisory activity. Contributors do not hold execution responsibility, design ownership, or success-based incentives. Impact is measured by judgement exercised and decisions safeguarded, not presence, continuity, or volume.
Governance Assurance Contributors operate strictly within defined assurance mandates. They do not deliver work, implement solutions, manage programs, or remain embedded beyond the assurance task. Their authority derives from mandate clarity, independence, and professional judgement, not positional power. Contribution concludes once assurance objectives have been met.
This role is not advisory, delivery, or partnership-based. It does not involve long-term embedded engagement, utilisation-driven consulting, or outcome-linked remuneration. Professionals seeking execution responsibility, ongoing influence, or transactional upside will find this model unsuitable.
This contribution suits senior professionals who are comfortable:
Directors and equity holders who safeguard the firm’s independence, standards, and long-term alignment with owners’ interests. Stewardship focuses on governance integrity, mandate discipline, and protection of assurance boundaries. It is exercised continuously, not episodically, and carries accountability for how the firm operates and is perceived. This role exists to preserve credibility over time, not to pursue growth or opportunity.
Stewardship responsibilities include:
Stewardship is an active responsibility, not a passive title.
Equity participation reflects long-term alignment and accountability, not entitlement or visibility. Directors and equity holders are accountable for the firm’s conduct, boundaries, and independence across all engagements.
This accountability extends beyond individual mandates to the integrity of the platform itself.
Stewardship is not business development, deal origination, or symbolic governance. It does not involve influencing delivery outcomes or compromising assurance boundaries in pursuit of opportunity.
Growth is subordinate to credibility.
If your experience, judgement, and professional intent align with how we operate, we welcome a considered discussion to assess fit.
