Guidance by trigger

The triggering event determines the order of the analysis.

Firm rules and terms of trust

Confidentiality, independence, security, reversibility and the conduct of international engagements.

Trust conditions

Trust results from a clearly established mandate, information rules and accountability.

Before any engagement, the client must understand who is acting, in what capacity, with what access, what sharing rules and what exit capability. Cabinet credibility depends on these conditions as much as on technical depth.

Confidentiality, security, retention and authorised sharing.
