HAS COMPLIANCE LEFT YOU PUZZLED?

Introducing The Legal Team

Your ONE-STOP Compliance Tool

HAS COMPLIANCE LEFT YOU PUZZLED?

Does your Organization have an effective Enterprise wide Compliance Program?

Piecing together the
puzzle can be a
daunting task.

Compliance can no longer be viewed in isolation to the rest of one’s Organization but must become part of the overall business strategy of any Organization’s operation – no matter how big or small. Compliance needs to be a non-negotiable and pervasive practice that is implemented throughout the Organization and performed by all.
Before a Compliance Program can be established, the Organization must understand what “compliance” means to it and its stakeholders and what laws, regulations, policies and codes, external and internal, apply to the Organization. Once these laws have been identified, a Compliance Program per law, must be developed and implemented across the various operations making up the Organization.
However, building an effective Compliance Program is easier said than done. In many cases, it is handled in a fragmented and incoherent manner with the tiny fragmented pieces of the larger puzzle not making any sense.

The Legal Team, can assist you.

The Legal Team is a secure cloud-based software solution that gives the Organization, management, and its legal and compliance function a single view of its compliance and contract related obligations, risks, tasks as well as its performance requirements and outcomes.

The Legal Team manages and houses all contract and compliance related tasks under a centralised umbrella portal. All requirements from a policy, contract and compliance perspective, can be planned, developed, implemented, acted and reported on, across the entire business, demonstrating to internal stakeholders, clients and partners that the Organization is compliant.

The Legal Team provides an Organization with a one-stop, comprehensive Compliance Program.

SOFTWARE ATTRIBUTES AND HOW TO USE

The Legal Team GRC Software tool is a Microsoft enabled web-based application housed in an Amazon cloud that can be accessed from anywhere by a user provided the user has website access.

It will be deployed and made available independently of any of the Organization systems.

Users will simply have to log into the site via the world wide web, and insert their user name and password and they will then be given access to the system.

The Organizations documents can be migrated, uploaded or exported to The Legal Team portal where they will become a seamless component of the Organization’s Compliance Program.

All content provided and available on The Legal Team, has been or will be developed by the Lee’s Compliance Team according to the Organization’s requirements.
