Legal Compliance Assessment

Corporate Governance

Effective corporate governance processes promote organisational value through:

• Entrepreneurialism
• Development and innovation
• Robust risk management
• Effective integrated management system implementation

One of the foundation elements of corporate governance is a clear understanding of legal obligations. Directors need to have a clear line of sight on the relevant legal aspects that are applicable to the size and nature of the corporations they lead and need to consider all of the up-stream and down-stream business activities.

WorkRisk IQ has developed an innovative legal compliance assessment program which identifies key legal requirements based on the specific company risk profile, industry and geographic location of operations.

The legal compliance assessment program includes a prioritised checklist of relevant legislation and assessment evidence criteria which is used to determine an organisation’s level of compliance to key legislative issues.

The audit criteria also enables the WorkRisk IQ Specialists an opportunity to evaluate the implementation effectiveness of management system processes which are used to control the legal requirements relevant to the company.
