Synopsis "The Complete Company Policies: Documents and Guidance"
This book is about a much neglected but essential element of the success of any business: company policy. This is a comprehensive guide to determining what policies your company needs, and how to draft and approve the relevant documents and implement them throughout the organization. From anti-bribery laws to data privacy and health and safety, your business is faced with a range of legal and regulatory obligations that must be identified and documented properly. These obligations must be addressed for internal and external stakeholders. The task of identifying and documenting effective policies is an essential step in establishing good corporate governance and ultimately a culture of compliance. These policies in turn provide a solid foundation for the reputation and commercial success of the organization, and form an essential "bridge" between the company's strategy and the various procedures needed to carry it out. With many useful templates and practical examples, this book will help you to ensure the accuracy and completeness of your policy documents. It covers all areas of your business, including financial reporting, anti-money laundering, anti-fraud, conflicts of interest, data privacy and security, remote working, social media, whistleblowing, and more.This book will be useful to company directors, company secretaries and senior managers, and their advisers, including consultants, auditors, and solicitors. It will be particularly relevant to any business that needs to create or review their policies in light of current regulations and standards.
