What are regulatory compliance services?

Regulatory compliance services help businesses keep abreast of and adhere to industry regulations, standards, and laws. Navigating the changing government regulation is key to ensuring your company operates within a specific legal framework, minimises risks, and avoids penalties. Typically, a business advisory firm will be able to implement an effective compliance program that helps organisations navigate complex regulatory landscapes.

Non-compliance with government regulations can lead to costly fines, legal action, and damage to your company’s reputation. With regulations constantly evolving, it poses a risk to companies that don’t have the resources to meet these industry requirements and relevant laws.
Failure to comply with regulations can result in:

  • Financial penalties
  • Legal disputes
  • Reputational damage
  • Business closure

Having a strong compliance framework that’s embedded into your organisation helps you avoid these risks. Our advisory services help identify areas of non-compliance and offer a strong foundation that protects your business from these risks.

Businesses in Australia are faced with a multitude of regulations and legislation that require their attention. They include, but are not limited to:

  • Financial reporting
  • Intellectual property
  • Director duties in compliance with the Corporations Act 2001
  • ATO obligations and payments
  • Employment Law compliance according to the Fair Work Act 2009
  • Workplace safety, according to the Work Health and Safety Act 2011
  • Privacy and data protection according to the Privacy Act
  • Money laundering and its due diligence
  • Fair trading according to the Competition and Consumer Act
  • Environmental protection laws, particularly in mining and manufacturing industries
  • Other state-based or international regulations (for companies operating outside Australia)

An effective compliance framework should have the following characteristics:

  • Can be efficiently embedded into the organisation’s processes
  • Is easily adopted by employees
  • Minimises or avoids process and tasks duplication
  • Allows company managers and directors to control their compliance processes
  • Has a robust system that identifies and mitigates any breaches in compliance

Our advisory services cover a wide range of regulations, including financial reporting standards and industry-specific regulations. Our area of expertise includes:

  • Corporations Act
  • ASIC laws and standards
  • Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing
  • Privacy Act and Notable Data Breaches
  • Workplace Health and Safety
  • Fair Work Act and Modern Slavery
  • ISO Standards

Effective compliance frameworks can improve your businesses’ operational efficiency and ensure it meets the required standards. This reduces the risk of regulatory breaches and its implications.

It also improves the confidence of customers, partners, and other stakeholders, ensuring that your company is seen as a responsible and reliable entity.

We recommend conducting annual reviews of your compliance process. However, it should also be done when there are major law changes or introductions in your industry. Industries with rapidly evolving regulations, such as finance and healthcare, may need more frequent reviews.

We help companies implement regulatory compliance services through the following steps

  • Design: Introducing the right policies and procedures to an organisation
  • Implementation: Educating employees and management, as well as implementing compliance technology solutions
  • Controls and Testing: Testing and remediation of compliance framework
  • Continuous Monitoring: Proactively advising management team to ensure long-term adherence
