Governance

Institutional investment introduces a board with independent representation, audit and risk oversight, and management KPIs linked to volume, quality (rejection rate), certification milestones, working-capital days and EBITDA. Financial statements are audited annually; a DFI investor would additionally require ESG and safeguards reporting (Section 16).
