A compliance consultant is there to guide you through the various challenges your business will face as it provides goods and services to customers, interacts with staff (and subcontractors), and manages relationships with suppliers.
A good regulation consultant doesn’t just focus on ticking boxes but works strategically, starting with a review of your company’s ethos and risk appetite and offering insight into how your business might be perceived by stakeholders. Regulatory compliance can be further elevated with our assistance in designing policies and procedures and subsequently rolling them out within the workplace.
The final piece of the jigsaw is whether, or not, your business impacts the general public. It can be very easy for “Joe Public” to have an opinion of your business even though there is, seemingly, no direct contact with them.
If you are running a business that is struggling to navigate complex industry regulations, hiring the right regulatory compliance consulting partner might just be what you need. They will get to know how you really want your business to be perceived and provide an opinion of whether you are achieving this goal – and if not, how to get there.
An experienced consultant will understand your sector and the regulations that govern it. This includes legislation, industry guidance and the effectiveness of your current documentation. Through comprehensive regulatory and compliance consulting, they can show you how your current practices — or lack thereof — affect your risk exposure.
From there, they build a clear, practical pathway to help reduce that risk. Your consultant should identify who, what, when, where, and why actions should be taken to enhance both performance and perception. Your compliance consultant will help you to understand which risks in your business can be covered, and which remain for you to manage.
Insurance can be one of the ways that risks are covered but insurance will not cover everything, and insurance cannot be claimed if you do not have the correct things in place. A trusted compliance expert will ensure that you’re not unknowingly leaving gaps. For more information read our blog on the role of insurance here: https://www.eyebray.com/role-of-insurance/
It is always going to be about helping you. Allowing your business to progress to the next level and making you “Better Tomorrow Than You Are Today”. This isn’t just a slogan, it is a truth that exists throughout the business community.
For example, paying the wrong amount of tax leaves you open to investigation by the HMRC. No-one wants that. A good compliance consultant can help you demonstrate your business principles and implement them. This, in turn, will give you operational confidence and a higher level of assurance giving you increased peace of mind.
Ultimately, a compliance consultant offers examples of best practice and identifies any gaps. It’s up to you, as the business owner, to act on those insights in your own time and at your own pace.
If I were to be your compliance consultant, I wouldn’t have all the answers – no consultant would! It is likely that we may need input from other professionals — like solicitors, accountants, health & safety specialists, or HR advisors — to bring all aspects of your business up to standard.
Compliance is a journey, not a one-day fix, and the rules around running a business are constantly changing. Legal precedents evolve, industry standards shift, and the recommended levels of compliance often increase.
As a business owner, it’s your job to stay aware of these changes. As your compliance consultant, I can help you stay ahead of them through effective regulatory compliance consulting services. It’s not just about the risks you’ve already faced, but also those emerging in your industry.
Business compliance is more than just ticking boxes, it’s about protecting you, your business, your customers, and your employees.
If you can’t put your finger on what you feel is wrong in your business, or there’s a nagging feeling about things not getting better quickly enough, you may need a compliance consultant.
