Compliance Audits

Compliance Audits provide your organisation with an independent view of what you, as a body corporate, are doing right or wrong and whether you may be in breach of any specific legal or system requirements. With regard to health & safety, Lord Cullen said "Monitoring and auditing the safety process is a critical activity to ensure that any safety programme is being followed".

Compliance audits are a critical component of the internal control process for any organisation and a prerequisite for assessing compliance with corporate performance standards. Whether it is compliance with internal corporate procedures, external regulatory requirements such as health & safety or compliance with industry codes of conduct such as ISO 14001, effective internal auditing is the cornerstone of compliance management and continuous improvement.

Our comprehensive compliance audits involve an initial critical evaluation of your organisations existing management system. We then review the structure and methods of operation and survey the workplace to identify hazards, unsafe acts or conditions and non-compliance with Legislation, Regulations, Codes of Practice and/or Standards. We prepare a confidential report on the findings, with advice and guidance on actions to be taken in order to ensure your organisation is fully compliant with all relevant and agreed requirements.

Control of Contractors

Increasingly, companies are contracting out not only specialised work, but often some core activities, to independent contracting companies in various sectors.   In order to comply with legislation and demonstrate due diligence, companies need to ensure that contractors are suitably selected and controlled.

Rock can provide assistance in this area, from advising on the selection process, developing management controls, to carrying out a detailed compliance audit of potential or existing contractors to help you ensure that contracted work is carried out in a safe and diligent manner.
