Understand that compliance and ethics is not the same thing. Lack of ethics can lead to non-compliance but sometimes non-compliance is as a result of not understanding risk or ignoring an identified risk. Furthermore, depending on the industry that you are in, the level of non-compliance or potential illegal or unethical behaviour, you can be exposed to a variety of legal risks. This can include civil litigation, administrative penalties, reputational risk, etc. Maybe you are not concerned about your legal exposure but want to gain a higher level of assurance with your clients or potential clients?

JBC can assist you in this regard, in various ways:

Risk Reviews: measure quality control and compliance against Industry standards or regulatory requirements

Legal Due Diligence: obtain peace of mind on legal and eligibility checks for a potential client

Integrity assessments: understand your legal risks against the backdrop of ethical codes and codes of conduct, and particularly risks of non-compliance which could expose your business to a variety of legal and business risks

Quality Control: assess the current policies, procedures and structures already in place and advise on efficiency and making recommendations for improvement if necessary
