Governance & Compliance

Historically, public sector organisations have had the greatest governance requirements – where transparency, accountability and responsibility to citizens and to the Parliament is paramount. Objective’s heritage in working with federal and state governments, has resulted in a wealth of experience delivering solutions that help organisations achieve regulatory and legislative compliance.

As the private sector faces increased regulatory pressures and business risk, companies are responding by seeking compliance and management practice systems.

Objective’s governance and compliance capability supports our many customers across a variety of business needs:

• Corporate governance and recordkeeping to support management practice, brand value, and business continuity.
  
• Policy and procedural systems that support management and operational practice; Best Practice, Quality Assurance, Environmental Management or Occupational Health and Safety.
  
• Legal process and procedural compliance in contract management, patents, titles or litigation.
  
• The security, integrity and transparency of information and business processes associated with the management and operations of services, assets and infrastructure of significant public interest.
  
• Regulatory compliance, recordkeeping and interaction with external regulators, enforcement or advisory agencies.
  
• Information risk management in communication and transfer of information between internal and external parties in business and project processes.
  

Many organisations rely on Objective to underpin governance processes where non-conformance or failures have significant impact on direct business costs including penalties, litigation or operational failure. Equally, in industries that are publicly visible and politically sensitive, organisations use Objective to mitigate more indirect risks of non-compliance such as reduced productivity, damaged brand value or corporate reputation.
