Business Management Procedures

With our suite of business management procedures, we’ll provide you with guidance to deliver your project and company obligations. These procedures range from health and safety, implementing a detailed corporate calendar, compliance monitoring reviews, internal audits and lifecycle management.

Procedures are reviewed on a regular basis, ensuring that legislation is applied in a timely and accurate manner. By sharing best practice across our multi-sector projects and continually reviewing processes, we’ll help you operate with confidence. Through our centralised reporting system, we can use horizon scanning to help you mitigate risk and reduce its impact on projects.

In complying with business management procedures, we have invested in IT software, cyber security and infrastructure platforms that help us protect your assets and enable you to create more value in your business. Market-leading reporting tools will also ensure progress is being made towards performance targets.

Risk Management and Compliance Monitoring

Our approach to risk management is a key feature of our special purpose vehicle management model. We’ll prepare a risk register for each of your projects and we’ll regularly review risks, while reporting on corrective actions.

We’ll also undertake regular internal audits and compliance reviews of your project activity. All findings are then escalated to ensure appropriate action is taken to remedy any issues.

In carefully monitoring your systems, procedures and processes, we’ll ensure you have an effective framework in place to meet your business objectives.
