Establishment compliance
Map the location and operating context to the statutory work, registers, returns and records in scope.
Compliance & Audit
Know the obligation. See the evidence. Close the gap.
Compliance becomes difficult when obligations, documents and decisions sit with different teams. Karma helps businesses understand the scope, review the evidence and make the next action clear—across establishments, contractors and operating locations.
Practical compliance work, from applicability to follow-through.
When the business needs more than another handover.
- You need a reliable view of compliance across locations.
- A contractor or vendor review has surfaced missing or inconsistent records.
- An upcoming inspection or internal review needs an organised evidence trail.
An audit identifies observations against the agreed scope and evidence available. A finding needs an owner, a corrective action and an appropriate basis for closure. Software supports this process; professional judgement and client responsibilities remain essential.
What the work covers
Labour and vendor audits
Review submitted documents, record observations and distinguish missing evidence from corrective action.
Governance and risk controls
Connect responsibilities, review points and open issues to an agreed operational process.
Workplace compliance
Discuss PoSH and other workplace requirements as a defined workstream, with suitable documentation and support.
What you can work with
A useful engagement makes the process visible. The service conversation establishes the deliverables, records and review points that are relevant to your situation.
- A location and entity scope with named contacts
- A document request and evidence index
- A record of observations and clarifications
- A prioritised action plan with responsibilities
- Review and closure records for the agreed work
Questions worth settling early
Can you start with a limited audit scope?
Yes. A defined starting scope can help identify the records available, immediate gaps and the work that needs a wider review. The proposal should state the locations, period and areas included.
What makes an audit finding useful?
A finding should explain the issue, identify the supporting evidence or missing information, and make the next action clear. Ownership and closure evidence matter as much as identifying the gap.
Can technology support vendors and operating locations?
The Tools section introduces Karma’s audit and documentation products. The team can discuss the appropriate platform, access and workflow for the engagement.
