Implex conducts Safety, Health, and Environmental Legal Compliance Audits. We calculate the time spent on-site based on our understanding of the size and complexity of the operations, after discussions with the client. Both audit disciplines consist of an administrative component (review of appointments, records, documents, permits, licenses, authorisations, exemptions, policies, procedures, contractor agreements, and other related documents) and a physical audit. Report writing time is allocated on a 1:1 principle – for each day on-site, a day of report writing is designated.

Legal compliance audits conducted by Implex on behalf of our clients, including legal register clients who have entered into a service level agreement with Implex, provide a holistic range of safety, health, and environmental legal compliance solutions. These audits are classified as first-party internal audits.

‘Auditor’ is defined as a person with the competence to conduct an audit; ‘Competence’ is classified as a demonstrable ability to apply knowledge and skills. For the purposes of a legal compliance audit in any of the disciplines offered by Implex, the Implex team comprises competent and qualified auditors, supported by the curriculum vitae of the auditors.

Independence is the basis for the impartiality and objectivity of the audit conclusions. Auditors are independent of the activity being audited and are free from bias and conflict of interest. Implex is an independent legal compliance consultancy. Neither Implex nor its staff have or have had any interest in client operations that could affect their ability to give an unbiased opinion, and they will not receive any pecuniary or other benefits in connection with an audit project, other than normal consulting fees. Auditors maintain an objective state of mind throughout the audit process to ensure that the findings and conclusions are based solely on the evidence.

Evidence is the rational basis for reaching reliable and reproducible audit conclusions in a systematic audit process. Audit evidence is verifiable and is based on samples of the information available, as an audit is conducted during a finite period of time and with finite resources. The appropriate use of sampling is closely related to the confidence that can be placed in the audit conclusions. Compliance with the above requirements is confirmed in the scope of the audits. To keep a record of the requirements considered, Implex develops a legal work document for recording observations and findings. This document captures the audit criteria and is based on all the laws that may potentially influence a client’s activities, products, or services.

The focus of the audit reports is primarily to identify and report on deviations from the law. Where appropriate, general observations are also included. Nevertheless, the report does not solely focus on omissions and non-conformances; the auditor will identify relevant and applicable national, provincial, and local legislation and compliance with it to establish the actual compliance status. Information regarding compliance is obtained, where available, from interviews with staff, documents supplied by staff, and visual observations. The actual evaluation of the level of compliance is undertaken on-site, distinguishing between those questions that could be considered on documents and interviews, and those that require physical observation of the status quo. Findings made in the reports are based on a sample as well as observations identified during the legal compliance evaluation. There may be other similar findings in areas not visited during the audit, as well as discrepancies of a different nature altogether.

We have also developed customised system applications, such as a self-assessor tool, construction kit, and legal compliance management frameworks as part of the customised consulting services that we offer.
