Importance of Compliance

Complying with quality standards is an increasingly difficult task. Despite having the resources to do so requires attention to how and where the resources are allocated.

At Brown Auditing Services, we believe that the need for large resources can be mitigated when armed with precise compliance systems. Here are some tips to help guide your business upgrade auditing and compliance protocols.

Making Compliance Accessible

Effective training and development can go a long way in ensuring that a compliance team is aware of the bigger picture. Compliance can be a complex field and taking steps to make it better understood by employees at appropriate levels can turn the pursuit of compliance into a collective effort.

An organization committed to better compliance levels must make sure that all relevant information and data is easily available at every point of the business process where compliance matters.

Effective Communication and Knowledge Transfer

While it may sound obvious, it is common for compliance departments and front-line employees to feel worlds apart. Compliance departments usually train teams, then point out mistakes in an effort to meet their goals. An efficient regulatory compliance system is one in which lines of communication between employees and compliance departments is open and familiar. This allows a steady flow of information and knowledge in both directions.

Bringing Compliance to The Forefront

Most businesses have compliance systems that are passive in nature. Management will often request reports to gain insight into a business function, often after an issue is suspected or has come to the forefront. At Brown Auditing Services, we believe that compliance in any aspect of a business should be visible and quick to access. By conducting accurate and timely audits within a system that allows for instant access to information and reports, compliance teams and management can head off the majority of issues before it is too late.

Using Automation in a Meaningful Way

Effective compliance is, first and foremost, a human endeavour. Relying on the vigilance of your team alone, however, can leave you open to problems. Developing the capabilities of your compliance departments using automated systems which can flag issues is valuable. Brown Auditing Services provides information on how best to integrate technology into your compliance process. Our highly trained compliance professionals provide you with analysis that improves your strategic capabilities, while delegating monitoring and tracking tasks to technology that is appropriate to your needs.

Embracing the External Audit

Unlike internal audits which are carried out by in-house teams, an external audit carried out by the right auditing company can give businesses an edge. Brown Auditing Services understands the value of conducting external audits in a discrete, impartial manner so provide business managers with real insight that will transform their ability to monitor their business. We believe that compliance is a team effort and we’re all in it together.

Providing In-Depth Support to Create Better Systems

Words like “audit” and “compliance” often have negative connotations. At Brown Auditing Services, we believe that business audits exist to give employees and stakeholders peace of mind. We provide a range of audit and accounting services, as well as system optimisation support to ensure you can make well-informed and timely decisions that could increase profitability.
