Know where your governance stands before the next project tests it.
The Framework Diagnostic does not review your individual projects. It assesses the framework your Council uses to govern all of them, measured against the CCF standard: governance policies, delegation structures, approval thresholds, project management procedures and audit and risk committee terms of reference. That is the layer every project inherits, so it is the one worth getting right.
What the diagnostic delivers.
- Framework gap analysis. You see exactly where your governance falls short of the CCF standard, gate by gate.
- Capital Readiness Index (CRI) baseline. A single maturity rating for your capital governance, plus the gate where you are weakest.
- Audit and risk committee readiness. A clear answer on whether your committee can see capital risk early and escalate it.
- Written diagnostic report. Findings and a risk rating in a document you can table at the audit committee.
- Remediation roadmap. A prioritised plan your Council can budget for, resource and work through in order.
- Executive briefing. Your leadership hears the findings first hand and leaves knowing what to do next.
The Capital Readiness Index.
The CRI expresses capital governance maturity as a single score, built from gate-level assessment across the full lifecycle. Gate-level scores show precisely where governance coverage is weakest. Across WA council portfolios assessed by Meridian Advisory, G3 Procurement and Award is the most common failure point.
How ready is your Council? Two minutes, and nobody sees the answer but you.
Ten questions, answered honestly, give an indication of where your capital governance stands. This is a directional indicator only. It stores nothing and sends nothing. The full diagnostic assesses 59 criteria against documented evidence.
Establish your baseline.
A diagnostic gives the CEO and the audit committee a defensible, evidence-based view of capital governance maturity and a sequenced path to close the gaps.
