Mr Brett Edwards
FIIRSM CertIOSH DipNCRQ
Overview
Brett Edwards helps boards and executive teams identify where governance, assurance and reporting systems create confidence that is not supported by operational reality.
Through audits, investigations, governance reviews and executive advisory work, he helps organisations understand whether positive indicators genuinely reflect performance or whether hidden risks remain obscured by reporting structures, communication barriers and assurance processes.
Brett is the creator of The Compliance Illusion™ framework, a governance model that examines how information distortion develops as it moves through organisations and how this can create a dangerous gap between board confidence and operational reality.
