GRC Systems Compliance

GRC systems compliance depends on something most organisations skip, which is a written list of the obligations they actually have. Without it, a system has nothing to track against.

A first version takes about a week and does not need a consultant.

Start with the sources. Legislation that applies to your industry and states. Your funding or accreditation agreements. Contracts with material compliance clauses. Your own policies, which create obligations too.

Write each as a sentence. What must be done, by whom, how often, and what proves it.

Mark the ones with no control. That short list is your programme for the next quarter.

It will be incomplete. An incomplete register that is used beats a perfect one that never gets written.

Safe Work Australia and the Fair Work Ombudsman cover the common sources. This is general information rather than legal advice.
