Chairman's Voice

Every company of significant size is subject to laws regarding Employment, Compensation & Benefits, Social Security, Labour Welfare, Environment, Health & Safety, and Working Conditions. The legal environment becomes more complex as business conditions continue to change and the courts further interpret and apply the law. A company’s management may not be fully aware of the current rules governing their areas of responsibility. Prudent companies get help in identifying risks to avoid consequences of non-compliance.
