Advisory, Compliance & Risk Management
The most effective organisations are proactive and mitigate the risks of costly overruns, disputes, compliance investigations, and other commercial or reputational damage.
Our strategic advisors help both investors and a wide range of private and public clients develop that capability, creating value by turning risk management to your strategic and commercial advantage.
HKA anticipates and mitigates risk to pre-empt problems
Prevention is significantly more cost-effective than reacting to project or organisation failures, conflicts, or lapses in compliance and due diligence. Early strategic intervention not only enhances long-term performance but also minimises potential threats before they escalate.
At HKA, we combine deep insight into what can go wrong and why with strategic foresight, commercial acumen, and technical expertise. Applied proactively across your organisation and strategy, this support helps address vulnerabilities and pre-empt and prevent problems that challenge many clients, whether you are:
- Investors, state and delivery agencies, or contractors responsible for capital projects and programmes.
- Corporations navigating significant transactions and relationships, including private equity, venture capital, and investment banks.
- Government contractors operating in highly regulated, complex environments.
Project & Infrastructure
Advising at project, programme or enterprise level, we build the capacity, capability, and culture needed to secure successful outcomes.
HKA’s industry experts bring a distinct advantage: lessons learned first-hand from both delivering successful capital and infrastructure projects and resolving disputes through the world’s largest construction claims business. We’ve also learned from and advised high performers – not only in construction and engineering but across other industries – developing a unique benchmarking tool to measure your organisation against international best practice.
We offer an integrated suite of services covering strategy and optimisation, project development, commercial strategy and procurement, infrastructure delivery, and project controls.
Federal & State Government Contracts
We help companies awarded government contracts and grants establish the policies, procedures, processes and internal controls essential for maintaining a compliant environment.
With one of the most experienced teams specializing in US federal regulations, we offer a full spectrum of services – from designing compliance frameworks, building compliant cost accounting structures, advising on complex regulatory matters, responding to audit findings, and participating in negotiations.
Transaction Advisory
We provide a comprehensive skillset to support the entire due diligence process – from assessing the management structure and track record of counterparties to delivering post-transaction services.
Our experts identify and evaluate risk in all its forms: commercial, regulatory, operational, reputational, market, and legal. By weighing each risk factor, we are able to shape the most effective mitigation strategies and enhance internal controls to align with your organisation’s risk tolerance and regulatory exposure.
Our work is performed by specialists with expertise in compliance, investigations, and litigation support spanning digital analytics, environment, social and governance (ESG), and deep sector knowledge across many industries including aerospace and defence, construction, energy, aviation, and infrastructure.
