Sleeve Studios’ compliance framework is a set of components that provides the foundations and organisational arrangements for designing, implementing, monitoring, reviewing and continually improving legislative compliance management throughout the organisation.
The Compliance Framework has three pillars:
-
inform (ensuring staff are aware of their obligations and the legislative changes that may impact their business units/activities);
-
comply (an annual Compliance Declaration by obligation owners as identified in the Compliance Register); and
-
assure (internal and external audit and review activity).
The Framework outlines a formal approach to continuous improvement. The ongoing performance of the Framework will be monitored and reviewed. The monitor and review mechanisms are:
-
this Policy;
-
supporting procedures and forms and registers that complement the Risk Management Framework and Plan and the Code of Conduct (such as fraud prevention, managing conflicts of interest, and breach reporting)
The framework will enable a robust, structured and risk based approach to compliance that is appropriate to Sleeve Studios’ activities and operating environment.
