Why bother conducting audits ?
Audits should be considered absolutely essential to your business. The law is dynamic and ever-changing. Naturally, it can be difficult to keep up to speed with the pace of change. A legal audit will allow you to:
- Check how compliant with the law your business is
- Introduce and manage change
- Minimise risk
- Identify new opportunities
Ensuring legal compliance and minimising risk in your business has one overall benefit – it minimises the occurrence of disputes and risk of being taken to court. Litigation is expensive, stressful and a waste of time that could be used more productively to grow your business.
What an audit can do for you…
We will use an example to illustrate what an audit can do for your business. In a contractual audit, you should review:
- Leases and licenses
- Contracts with suppliers
- Contracts with customers
- Standard terms and conditions
By reviewing these areas, you can make sure you are compliant with your current obligations and up to speed with any changes in the law. You can also identify contracts that are capable of being renegotiated. In the current economic environment, commercial landlords are literally desperate to make sure their property is filled and for new tenants, it is not uncommon to find premises that are rent free for several months. This provides plenty of scope for renegotiating commercial property leases and licenses.
