What this practice covers
Compliance work begins with understanding what an organisation does and which requirements may apply to that activity. A useful review connects registrations, licences, internal policies and reporting responsibilities with the people responsible for maintaining them.
Support may include identifying gaps in existing records, preparing supporting documents for an application or organising a response to a regulatory notice. We agree the scope of the review and identify issues that need specialist or current verification. The organisation remains responsible for implementing the agreed actions and maintaining its records.
