Governance Assurance & Capital Stewardship
Independent governance assurance across the asset lifecycle
How control, transparency and accountability are maintained at every stage
TacminMadini applies independent governance assurance under owner authority to protect value, maintain control and ensure defensible decision-making across complex mining, infrastructure, industrial and land assets. We act on behalf of asset owners to assure governance over decisions, delivery, performance and transition across the full asset lifecycle. Governance assurance is applied deliberately and proportionately, supporting early decisions, preserving authority during execution, restoring control when alignment breaks down, and protecting land value and legacy through closure, supported by digital systems and specialist delivery partners only where governance assurance identifies the need.
TacminMadini’s governance assurance framework is structured around the critical points where owners are most exposed to value erosion, loss of control or long-term liability.
Governing feasibility, risk and commercial alignment before capital is committed
Why it matters | Long-term value is most often lost before projects begin, through weak assumptions, misaligned scope or untested commercial positions. Independent decision governance ensures capital is committed on a defensible basis. |
| Our role | To provide independent governance assurance over feasibility, risk and commercial alignment under owner authority, ensuring decisions are defensible before capital is committed. |

Protecting value through disciplined, owner-side oversight during execution
| Why it matters | Once delivery begins, value is most often lost through loss of control, misaligned incentives and poor transparency. Governance must be active, independent and continuous. |
Our role | To provide independent governance assurance over delivery under owner authority, preserving decision rights, transparency and accountability throughout execution. |

Protecting value when alignment breaks down
| Why it matters | When commercial positions diverge, value erodes rapidly through delay, escalation and loss of owner authority. Independent governance assurance is required to restore alignment and protect outcomes. |

Restoring predictability and control across operating assets
| Why it matters | Unstable operations expose owners to escalating cost, safety, compliance and reputational risk. Governance must stabilise outcomes through assurance, without assuming operator responsibility. |

Protecting land value, legacy and long-term liability
| Why it matters | Closure decisions carry long-term financial, regulatory and reputational consequences. Poor governance exposes owners to stranded land value and enduring ESG risk. |
