Overview
What Is the Risk Diagnostic?
The TMPM Risk Diagnostic is a rapid but rigorous assessment designed for housing associations, local authorities, and care providers. Working alongside Beechwood, we examine your governance, operational, financial, and compliance risk landscape — then deliver a prioritised action plan your leadership team can act on immediately.
It is not a tick-box exercise. It is a frank, expert-led conversation backed by structured evidence gathering, benchmarking against sector standards, and a written report that names the risks, quantifies the exposure, and sets out a clear path forward.
Designed For
Who Is It For?
The Risk Diagnostic is designed for housing associations, local authorities, and care providers who want an independent, expert view of their risk position — whether ahead of a regulatory inspection, following a significant change in leadership, or as part of an annual governance review cycle.
The Process
How It Works
Discovery & Scoping
We begin with a structured briefing session with your senior leadership team to understand your organisation's context, current concerns, and strategic priorities. This shapes the diagnostic scope and ensures we focus where it matters most.
Evidence Gathering & Review
Our consultants conduct a deep-dive review of your documentation, data, and processes across governance, compliance, operations, and finance. We benchmark findings against sector frameworks including the Regulator of Social Housing's standards.
Diagnostic Report & Action Plan
You receive a clear, written report that identifies risks by severity, explains the evidence behind each finding, and sets out a prioritised action plan with recommended owners and timescales. We present findings directly to your board or executive team.
Scope

Board effectiveness, committee structures, decision-making trails, and compliance with regulatory expectations.
