Getting governance right before the new year with year end board agendas
The final quarterly board meeting (QBM) of the year is one of the most significant events on the governance calendar. For the majority of boards we support across the Channel Islands, this meeting operates within a regulated environment and is subject to heightened levels of regulatory, risk, and governance scrutiny. That said, much of what follows represents…
How secondees help governance teams manage peak workloads
Busy periods are a natural part of the governance cycle. Year end, regulatory reporting, meeting clusters, and seasonal deadlines can all arrive at once. For many governance teams, these peaks create real pressure. Staff may already be operating at full capacity, and sudden increases in workload can lead to delays, mistakes, or burnout. The difficulty…
What to expect from a Virteffic board effectiveness review
Boards today are expected to demonstrate strong governance, accountability, and clear oversight. An independent review helps directors understand how well their board is operating in practice and where meaningful improvements can be made. Our reviews are shaped by the real world experience we gain from sitting in boardrooms every week, which allows us to combine…
What sets us apart in conducting board effectiveness reviews
As a director, you want confidence that your board was operating effectively, not only in terms of compliance but also in how decisions were made, how risks were challenged, and how the board worked together as a team. A board effectiveness review is one of the most powerful tools to gain that clarity. However, the…
Choosing the right Board Effectiveness Review for your organisation
Boards recognise the value of stepping back and reflecting on how they work, yet selecting the right review package can feel daunting. Some boards want a quick sense check, while others need a deeper understanding of strengths, challenges, and opportunities for improvement. At Virteffic, we offer three review options so every organisation can choose the…
Why Independent Board Reviews Matter
As a director, you want confidence that your board is operating at its best, making sound decisions, constructively challenging management, and working together effectively. An independent board effectiveness review is one of the most valuable ways to gain that assurance. It offers far more than a compliance exercise and gives a clear picture of how…
Flexible secondment support for stronger governance
In corporate governance, maintaining high standards while meeting deadlines can quickly become demanding. Team absences, recruitment gaps, and reporting peaks often create pressure points that test even the most experienced governance teams. At Virteffic, we understand these challenges. Our flexible secondment support offers a practical way to strengthen your governance capacity across the Channel Islands…
The value of independent external support in corporate governance
Across the financial services industry, the role of independence within governance frameworks has become increasingly significant. As regulatory expectations evolve, boards and governance teams are placing greater importance on objective oversight, well-documented decision-making, and the ability to demonstrate accountability. In Jersey and the wider Channel Islands, the use of independent external professionals has become a…
5 things I wish I knew when starting Virteffic
In 2020, during the Covid-19 pandemic, I stepped away from my director role at a regulated trust and company business in Jersey and founded Virteffic Limited. The vision was simple but powerful: to create a business built on independence and flexibility, whilst continuing to deliver professional governance and company secretarial services and applying the skills…
The real cost of delayed minutes and governance tasks
The pace of board life intensifies at year end. Decisions stack up, deadlines approach, and governance teams often find themselves stretched thin. When this happens, minutes and key governance tasks are usually the first to be delayed. Yet the consequences of falling behind are far more costly than they may appear. Compliance cannot wait Minutes…
Leading through values
Leadership through values Leadership is often associated with responsibility, resilience, and results. Over the past five years of building Virteffic, I have come to see leadership as something much more human. It is about trust, clarity, and creating the conditions for others to thrive. When I launched Virteffic in 2020, I was guided by experience,…
From virtual to vital why flexible governance support is the future of corporate governance
The way we work has changed. In boardrooms, on screens, and across jurisdictions, the demands on governance professionals have never been greater. Yet many organisations still rely on outdated structures to meet increasingly complex requirements. At Virteffic, we believe flexible support is not just a response to modern working life. It is the future of…
Why minute taking matters more than you think
Minute taking is often underestimated. To some, it may appear to be a simple administrative task. In reality, board minutes are one of the most important governance tools a company has. They protect directors, demonstrate compliance, and provide a reliable record of how decisions were reached. At Virteffic, we see every day how well-prepared minutes…

Five years of Virteffic
Five years ago, I made the decision to leave behind a senior director role and take a leap into the unknown. I had a vision for a different kind of business. One that prioritised flexibility, independence, and wellbeing, while still delivering the highest standards of governance and minute-taking support. That vision became Virteffic. As we…
5-year timeline – key milestones that shaped Virteffic’s success
