Protecting Shareholder Value
Resolute Integrity is an independent third-party risk mitigation resource dedicated to protecting shareholder value by decreasing the probability, velocity, and impact of a corporate breach, insider threat, and the cascading effects of subsequent litigations.
Resolute employs a four-stage risk mitigation model grounded in twelve fiduciary standards specifically designed for corporate directors and officers. This approach establishes four new lines of defense while memorializing a new level of fiduciary and ethical integrity, thereby signaling an increased commitment to strong governance to shareholders and the judicial system.
Decrease Culpability Score
Companies facing litigation can demonstrate their commitment to change and reduce their Corporate Culpability Score as detailed in Section 8C2.5 of the USSC Guidelines. This approach offers a clear path for corporations looking to demonstrate their good-faith commitment to ethical integrity and fiduciary stewardship.
Additionally, Resolute provides a pathway for corporations with a history of litigation that seek to establish a new trajectory of ethical integrity and fiduciary stewardship. It provides a strategic approach to enhance decision integrity and prepares them for potential legal challenges, ensuring governance is conducted in good faith, transparent, and defensible.
Independent Third-Party Assurance
To guarantee the integrity of this practice, we have engaged an independent third-party accounting firm to perform the attestation. This firm delivers an assurance opinion that confirms our commitment to ethical excellence, providing reassurance to shareholders, the judiciary, and other key stakeholders.
Resolute utilizes Agreed-upon Procedures (AUP) to custom-tailor protocols that address each corporation’s specific needs. These AUPs establish the framework for independent third-party attestation work.
Customizable and Scalable
This approach complements and enhances existing ethics and risk management protocols, specifically addressing the significant exposure gap to risk at the director and officer level within corporations.
Each engagement is customized and designed to meet the unique needs of individual corporations, ensuring targeted and effective risk mitigation.
This flexible approach can be applied to a single high-value leader or extended to encompass the entire C-suite and board of directors.
Strengthen Self-Governance
For astute directors and officers, this wrap-around practice provides a hedging strategy against the inherent threats that can rapidly emerge across the corporate landscape and a solution to remediate and redeem a post-breach scenario.
Resolute provides an essential structure that strengthens self-governance and independence. It is designed to help large decentralized systems self-correct and adapt to a higher order of complexity and decision fidelity. This structure specifically targets the individual and group dynamics that typically undermine the effectiveness of traditional programs, thereby enhancing their overall efficacy.
Multidisciplinary Approach
Resolute employs a multidisciplinary risk management model that integrates the legal expertise of your General Counsel with an independent third-party behavioral analysis and independent third-party assurance work.
We work closely with your General Counsel to develop “agreed-upon procedures” (AUP) that provide the framework for unfolding the attestation work.
This approach amplifies the efforts of the General Counsel by taking the implicit dynamics embedded in the fiduciary duties and transforming them into explicit, measurable, and actionable practices through the 12 fiduciary standards.
Three Pathways Forward
Preparation: For companies preparing for a merger, acquisition, or other major transition that has a high probability of shareholder litigation or derivative lawsuits, Resolute provides a solution to memorialize pre-transaction integrity.
Remediation: For companies with a history of litigation and a desire to memorialize a new trajectory of ethical and fiduciary excellence, Resolute provides the structure to develop a custom set of AUP for your unique situation.
Redemption: Resolute provides a five-stage pathway for companies entangled in active litigation who desire to demonstrate good faith in their efforts to reduce their culpability score and reestablish shareholder trust.
A Prudent Process
Resolute collaborates closely with the Chief Executive Officer and the General Counsel to implement a proactive four-stage executive risk management model. This model establishes a prudent process, solidifying directors’ and officers’ commitment to the principles of Duty of Care, Loyalty, and Good Faith.
Utilizing 12 fiduciary standards, Resolute operationalizes the core duties of fiduciaries. Recognizing that these duties are fundamentally relational and behavioral, our approach is designed to translate abstract fiduciary concepts into tangible expressions of trust, loyalty, and integrity.
Four Lines of Defense
We wrap around each corporate officer (First Line) a dynamic protocol that seamlessly integrates the legal expertise of your General Counsel (Second Line) with an unencumbered independent third-party behavioral analysis (Third Line) and an assurance opinion provided by an independent third-party accounting firm. (Fourth Line)
This multidisciplinary four-line defense approach demonstrates a new level of good faith in protecting shareholder value and signals a new measurable commitment to ethical integrity.
Protecting Reputations
For corporate officers, your primary defense against false allegations, frivolous lawsuits, and protracted litigation regarding potential decision errors, corporate breaches, or possible missteps is to memorialize your fiduciary integrity and decision fidelity through clear, independent, 3rd party documentation.
We provide an independent air-gapped record of fact that systematically memorializes your insights, intentions, decisions, and actions on critical issues and key choice points.
This protocol can be wrapped around a single leader or an entire team.
Self-Governance
At Resolute, we believe that corporate integrity begins with the personal integrity of each senior executive. We created a high-frequency mosaic check-and-balance system, where directors and officers routinely assess their peers and themselves for missteps, errors, and blind spots that may impact performance integrity.
Our approach provides a clear structure for officers to demonstrate a new level of accountability in self-governance. We recognize that missteps and hazards across the suite of officers can often remain obscured in real-time due to blind spots and the corporate fog that comes with leadership at the top.
While hindsight offers clear insights, our goal is to minimize the latency between the onset of an event and the recognition of a potential incident.
