Corporate & Financial Governance
At Errigal, we are committed to the achieving the highest standards of Corporate and Financial Governance. Our governance framework provides the structures through which our objectives are set, performance is monitored, and risk is managed. This enables us to deliver to our clients and all our stakeholders.
Our Senior Leadership Team sets the strategic direction of the business and is responsible for overseeing performance, risk, and compliance. This leadership ensures that decisions are taken with clarity, accountability, and long-term approach in mind. Strong financial controls are in place to deliver on these strategic decisions.
Financial Controls and Risk Management
Our financial governance is underpinned by a robust internal control framework designed to support
- Sound decision-making
- Ensure regulatory and Taxation compliance in all countries that we operate
- To protect the company
- To protect and enhance the livelihoods of the employees
- To protect the communities, we live and work in
Key aspects of our internal control’s frameworks to allow the company to deliver on its goals are:
Strategic Financial Oversight
Under the direction of the Chief Financial Officer (CFO), the Finance Department is responsible for implementing and maintaining financial controls that align with strategic goals.
Independent Audit and Assurance
Our accounts and financial reporting are subject to a yearly independent audit by a reputable audit firm. This external assurance enhances transparency, supports financial integrity, and affirms the effectiveness of our internal controls.
Institutional Confidence
We maintain strong, ongoing relationships with our financial institutions and funding partners. These stakeholders provide additional layers of scrutiny and assurance, requiring high standards of reporting, accountability, and risk mitigation as part of their oversight. This ensures confidence in our financial health and operational stability.
Internal Financial Management
We operate with strict internal controls, including rigorous budgeting, forecasting, and cash management processes. These are regularly reviewed and stress-tested to reflect both operational performance and wider market conditions.
Risk Governance
Risk is managed proactively across all business areas through a structured risk management framework. This includes the identification, assessment, and mitigation of financial, commercial, and operational risks to support informed strategic decisions.
Internal Audits on Controls
We undertake regular internal reviews and adapt our financial systems and controls to reflect evolving best practices, regulatory changes, and stakeholder expectations.
Stakeholder Engagement
We recognise the value of meaningful engagement with all stakeholders, including
- Our clients
- Our supply chain partners

- Our employees
- Our communities.
The Senior Leadership Team ensures that stakeholder feedback is considered in strategic and operational decisions, reinforcing a transparent and collaborative business culture that are enhanced by our strong corporate and financial governance framework.
