Mission-driven organizations face growing expectations around governance, accountability, and oversight – often without additional staff, time, or clear guidance. Leaders are asked to manage risk, ensure compliance, and make sound decisions while navigating growth, scrutiny, and competing priorities. When roles are unclear, policies outdated, or oversight informal, even well-run organizations can feel exposed and uncertain.
Alnapoint provides practical, senior-level governance, risk, and compliance advisory support to help organizations bring structure to complexity. Our services are designed to clarify responsibilities, strengthen oversight, and support confident, ethical leadership – without legal jargon, technical implementation, or unnecessary burden.
Our Services
How We Help
Governance Essentials Audit
As organizations grow or evolve, governance structures often lag behind day-to-day realities. Boards and leadership teams may assume roles and oversight mechanisms are clear–until questions arise, decisions stall, or external scrutiny increases.
The Governance Essentials Audit provides a focused, high-level review of governance structures, policies, roles, and oversight practices. Alnapoint identifies gaps, clarifies accountability, and highlights priority risks, giving leaders a clear, objective picture of where governance is working–and where attention is needed.
Typical deliverables include:
Governance maturity overview
Policy alignment and compliance snapshot
Key governance and oversight risk summary
Practical 30-day action plan
Risk & Controls Assessment
Many organizations manage risk informally–relying on experience, good intentions, and institutional knowledge. Over time, this can leave leadership unsure whether risks are being identified, escalated, and addressed consistently.
The Risk & Controls Assessment provides an organization-wide review of key risk areas and existing controls. Alnapoint helps leaders understand where risks reside, how controls are functioning, and whether roles and responsibilities are clearly defined. The result is a practical roadmap for strengthening oversight and reducing exposure.
Typical deliverables include:
Risk register and prioritization
Controls and oversight mapping
Staff and board role clarity
Targeted mitigation recommendations
Policy & Compliance Program Refresh
Policies and compliance programs often accumulate over time–becoming outdated, inconsistent, or disconnected from actual practice. When this happens, staff and leadership may be unsure which rules apply, who is responsible, or how issues should be handled.
The Policy & Compliance Program Refresh modernizes core governance and compliance documentation to reflect current operations and expectations. Alnapoint works with leadership to ensure policies are clear, practical, and aligned with organizational values, helping teams operate consistently and confidently.
Typical deliverables include:
Updated or rewritten core policies
Compliance program structure and documentation
Clear accountability and reporting pathways
Practical SOP and guidance templates
Governance & Compliance Retainer
Some organizations need more than a one-time assessment–they need steady, trusted guidance as issues arise. Leaders may benefit from an experienced advisor who understands their organization and can provide perspective without becoming operationally embedded.
The Governance & Compliance Retainer provides ongoing advisory support over a defined period. Alnapoint serves as a sounding board and strategic partner, helping leadership navigate governance, risk, and compliance questions as they emerge.
Support may include:
Regular check-ins with leadership
Policy review and refinement
Risk reporting and oversight guidance
Board briefing preparation
On-call governance and compliance coaching
