Advisory — Internal Controls Readiness for Provision 29

United Kingdom·Banking & Financial Services·Financial Services·Posted 9 August 2026

UK-listed specialist financial services group

The problem this seat exists to solve

The board must make its first declaration on the effectiveness of material controls for the financial year beginning in 2026, and does not yet have an assurance map that would support it.

The remit

Assess readiness for the Provision 29 declaration across financial, operational, reporting and compliance controls
Build the assurance map and identify where evidence does not currently exist
Advise the audit committee on what it must see, and when, to make the declaration
Recommend the reporting rhythm for the year of first application

What the sponsor will not compromise on

Deep experience of internal control frameworks in a regulated business
Prior audit-committee chair or chief audit executive background
Familiarity with the 2024 UK Corporate Governance Code and FRC guidance
Independence from the company's external auditor

Terms

Engagement: Four months, approximately five days a month.
Compensation: GBP 1,600 – 2,200 a day.
Cross-border: Advisory work can be delivered largely remotely, with attendance at audit-committee meetings in London.

Before you apply — an advisory engagement

No office of director, and no appointment formalities.

An advisory engagement creates no directorship in the United Kingdom. There is no registry filing, no regulator pre-approval, no residency arithmetic and no statutory director liability — which is why it is so often the right first step into a market you do not yet know.

On this brief: Advisory work can be delivered largely remotely, with attendance at audit-committee meetings in London.
Independence: Where the engagement specifies independence from any search that follows, that is a requirement of the engagement rather than a courtesy — an adviser to a board is not a candidate for it.

How advisory engagements are scoped

How this works

Every seat here is applied for by a certified director.

That is the whole difference. A sponsor reading applications from this Exchange knows the pool has been tested — which is why the briefs are real and why an application gets read. Five steps, and the first three are free.

1
Register — free
Read every brief, every regime map and both tools. Nothing is hidden behind the paywall and nothing ever has been. You can apply straight away — one application a fortnight.
2
Sit the assessment — free, about 30 minutes
15 judgement questions on statutory duty, your functional depth and cross-border practice. Sitting it costs nothing and you see your band and a gap report either way — so you learn something about your own standing whether or not you go further.
3
Pass, and you are certified — free, for 12 months
There is no fee to certify. A certified member applies to board, interim and advisory seats, one application a week. That alone is more than most directors act on in a quarter.
4
Then, if you want the rate — Foresight InfinityUS$250 a month
Your application is collated, verified against your profile and carried to the sponsor every week instead of waiting out the seat’s priority period — and we search for you rather than waiting for you to look. Foresight Infinity Plus, US$500 a month, is carried first, the moment it is matched, with a document written for that seat and your score attached.
Monthly only — there is no annual term on either. One payment a month; nothing renews on its own.
5
Your certificate and your membership are not the same thing
The certificate runs 12 months. A membership renews every month. If you stop paying you do not go back to the beginning — you keep the certificate you earned and return to one application a week until it expires.

Interim Commodity Operations Control Lead

Leave a controlled transaction process, documented reconciliations and a realistic backlog for remaining systems improvements. The permanent team should understand which exceptions require immediate action and which can follow a routine timetable. Management reporting must show unresolved exposure honestly rather than relying on the disappearance of old items from a spreadsheet.
