Legal and Other Obligations Register
A specialised, company-specific legal register — far beyond an online search.
A legal register is a document or system that lists the laws an organisation must comply with according to the nature of its operations. Depending on the organisation's nature, size, industry and location, the range of applicable legislation can vary considerably.
A company's legal register becomes an essential resource for referencing the requirements for compliance to the law. Searching for applicable laws online is inefficient, time-consuming, and makes it difficult to tell whether the law is current or has been superseded. For these reasons, a specialised legal register applicable to your organisation is essential.
- Up-to-date, specific regulation or law
- Specific article of the regulation or law
- The general requirements the company needs to adhere to
- The specific requirements the company needs to adhere to
- The specific business units that must comply with the requirements
- The compliance or non-compliance status of the organisation
- The method in which the organisation complied with the requirements
A legal register may also be a prerequisite for achieving ISO 14001 certification. It is an efficient approach to demonstrate your firm's awareness of its legal duties and compliance with them.
This can help a firm avoid legal action while enhancing its reputation with customers and other stakeholders by allowing it to operate beyond compliance.
